Beef heart

[Soul_Venom]

I'm looking for herbs/spices/oils that pair well with beef heart. I've tried salt, pepper & garlic. All of which are OK but need help. I've also tried mango powder, zaatar & rendered prosciutto fat. the zaatar was a no & the mango powder was iffy. The fat didn't seem to make a difference. Any other ideas welcome.

Soy/sugar/sake/sesame oil or soy/gochujang/sesame oil followed by a short time on the bbq works pretty well ...

5 spice?  Seems like a good candidate to add to the soy/sugar/sesame regimen suggested above...
