This sounds like a good way to keep people at work from asking to eat some of my food! – saiklón Feb 2 2012 at 4:49

I Love heart jerky! Best texture of any...it's all I make jerky with these days-

Clean beef heart well...get every bit of silverskin off (takes forever, fyi...) Slice into thin slices. Marinate for an entire 24 hours in your favorite marinade- I like tamari, salt, pepper, garlic. Dehydrate in dehydrator or 200 degree oven for two hours. This will keep in mason jars for a week or two...never had any left by then!

I made it once and it came out great. I think heart lends itself to jerky because of the texture. I used Alton Brown's cold-dry method with the box fan and furnace filters.

Heart beef jerky, only one thing to say about that:

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!

Nice! I make a variety of jerk (red meat, chicken, ground, fish, fruit, veggies) but never thought of heart. Worth a try.

Does anyone bother disinfecting the heart before hand?
