For a richer flavor, substitute beef broth for water. You can also add a splash of red wine during the simmering process. Consider adding other vegetables such as carrots, celery, or potatoes to the stew for added flavor and nutrients. Add them during the last hour of simmering. Beef heart can be tough if not cooked properly. Slow simmering is key to achieving a tender result. If you don't have seasoned salt, you can use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. To thicken the stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
