Venison heart recipes

[Fmgfish86]

Anyone have a good recipe for heart? I always loved to fry mine up with some mushrooms, onions, garlic and butter in my cast iron skillet. Just want to try something new! Here’s pic for you guys to drool over from this years rifle buck here in Pa.

I did one the other day that came out awesome. Trim off all the cartilage and blood, clean thoroughly with cold water, slice into 4 even pieces, season with fresh ground black pepper and garlic salt on both sides. Get a cast iron pan smoking hot and toss in a tablespoon of butter, cook each side about 1 min or 1 min and 30 sec to just past rare, pull and serve. I served it to guests who were a little squeamish at first and there were no leftovers.

I’ve had deer heart last weekend and tonight for dinner. I either coat them in olive oil with salt/pepper and grill them or I slice it into strips, toss in flour, and fry in a skillet. It’s my favorite part of the animal

I’m gonna try putting them in flour like that and frying them up in some fresh pig lard!

I just didn’t tell my wife and son what I was cooking them until I was done. Neither one of them seemed to care.

Corn meal and cheez-it’s with an egg mixed for batter. Sliced 1/4”, breaded, and fried in peanut oil. We call it deer calamari! Kids love it!

Heart jerky turned out pretty well

My by far favorite is to pickle it in thin strips. I use mcormicks pickling spice and same recipe most people used for fish. There is something about the texture the stays fairly firm with the heart and I could sit there and eat the whole pale.

I smoked one the other day. 225 for 3 hours over Hickory. I stuffed the chambers with a combination of cream cheese, pepperjack cheese, and fresh diced jalapeños. Wrapped in a bacon weave. Turned out fabulous.

Did another venison heart tonight for Christmas dinner. Same preparation as above. It came out spectacular. My folks were a little leary at first but after a few bites, there were no leftovers. Paired with a good bottle of Spanish red wine from priorat. Merry Christmas to all.

I aged a deer heart in my fridge for 3 weeks. Skinned the outside and inside, this left me with 6 little steaks that were pure muscle.

Seared in butter, S&P. Finished in the oven to medium rare.

This is hands down the best cut of venison I have ever had. It sits in the top 5 meat dishes I've ever had in my life. Simple and stunning.

I have pan seared them when fresh.

Smoked one this year - filleted it flat. 24-brine. Rub. About 2 hours of smoke at 225 then tent it in foil with butter and a splash of water. Stick in oven (or keep on the smoker) for a couple of hours to moisten and soften it.

Search YouTube for “deer heart meateater” There is a lady that has two videos, one on how to clean one that results in two beautiful pieces of meat. And the other is a recipe that is super simple and very good (quickly seared with a coffee rub and whiskey butter sauce).

I've sliced thin and sauteed with peppers and onions for quesadillas - that works well. I usually do something more conventional like onions and mushrooms w/black pepper.

The stuffed, wrapped, and smoked looks amazing...

I use a recipe from Meat Eater that is a simple combination of white vinegar, oil, and your favorite steak seasoning. Slice into thin slices and marinate for 30-60mins then grill it! Easy and delicious!

I smoked one the other day.

This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be trying this one.
Generally, I soak in milk for a few hours after cleaning, then cut into strips, and sear the pieces in cast iron. The family loves it rolled in flour and fried.

Heart is one of my favorite and, when cooked right, is some of the best, IMO.
