Step 1
Pat beef heart dry with paper towels. Toss with vinegar, cumin, paprika, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Thread beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with tomato and onion chunks. Brush any remaining marinade over the skewers.
Step 3
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill to medium-high. Oil the grates lightly. Sear skewers 2 minutes per side without moving—edges should look caramelized and meat feels firm to touch.
Step 4
Rotate skewers a quarter turn and cook another 90 seconds per side until beef is cooked through and vegetables are blistered.
Step 5
Transfer skewers to a plate. Squeeze fresh lime or lemon over the top if you have it, then scatter cilantro.
Step 6
Serve hot with extra salt, pepper, and vinegar on the side for dipping.
