Question for all you jerky makers out there.
I just finished talking to a friend from Australia who just finished a batch of beef heart jerky.
He says it makes the best jerky he's ever eaten.
I have to agree with him that the heart SEEMs to be a perfect choice for jerky but I've never tried it or even heard of it.
Anyone ever used it for jerky?
I have a Charbroil gas grill, Big Easy, Large gas smoker and small electric smoker, GMG Davy Crockett pellet grill. I also have a 160L Cabelas dehydrator which I use for beef jerky.
I do like heart. Cannot do tongue. Just something about the thought that keeps me from liking it even thought the taste and texture is actually pretty good.
I love animal heart- any kind. Delicious lean red pure muscle meat with a smooth texture. I probably will get around to making beef heart jerky now that the bug has been put in my ear.
If anyone knows any more about it, I hope you'll post
Beef heart is a superfood that contains excellent amounts of CoQ10 and many other vitamins and nutrients. But it can be tough to get your family to eat it, so whip up a tasty snack where they won't even realize what they're eating. Sneaky, sneaky!

This should be perfect. All you need is lean meat. And beef heart fits that bill. I would be willing to try this. I would think you'd have to take it easy on the smoke, as the meat is lean and more delicate than the chuck that I usually use.
