To begin preparing the heart, cut it into quarters lengthwise. This will expose all of the internal arteries.
Using a small, sharp knife, carefully trim the fat and thin membrane off the outside of the heart.
Flip the heart over so you can see the inside. Carefully cut the arteries, veins and membrane off to completely expose the muscle.
Slice the muscle into ½-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
Coat each piece of heart in flour mixture and place them in a greased skillet over low-medum heat.
Add onions and cook covered for 15 minutes or until meat is heated to an internal temperature of 145ºF. Be sure to stir often. Serve immediately.

Use a sharp knife when processing the heart to avoid removing excess amounts of meat.
