For quick-cooking preparations, slice the heart thinly against the grain and marinate it before searing. For a more tender, slow-cooked result, cut it into larger pieces and braise gently until the connective tissue softens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCooking Methods:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Quickly grill or pan-sear thin slices over high heat, or braise low and slow for a rich, tender result.
