• NOTE #1--To make annatto oil, heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a saucepan over moderate heat. Stir in 1/4 cup annatto (achiote) seeds. Stir for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and strain. This will keep several months if tightly covered and refrigerated, but it will lose flavor as it ages. You may also use purchased annatto oil, or substitute olive oil.
• NOTE #2--the coward's way out. If you absolutely cannot find beef heart, or you cringe at the thought of eating it, beef rib eye or sirloin may be substituted. It should be prepared the same way, but marinated for only 2-4 hours.
