Ingredients
- 1 large beef heart
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 whole onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 rib celery (optional)
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. flour

Add hot broth, slowly, stirring constantly until light to medium thick consistency is reached (you may have broth left over). Add sugar and vinegar. Add cubed heart and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust salt, vinegar and sugar to taste. Serve over boiled or mashed potatoes.
