I've never kept a heart, but have one now. Do you do anything to clean it other than rinsing with cold water?
-
Nope that is it, wash the clots out and slice it up and trim it well get all the white off. Fried with butter and onion my favorite meal! Wish I didnt wreck all 4 of mine :-\ wait it is fine ;D
-
Deer heart is the best!! I soak it in salt water, slice it up and fry. Coupled with some fried onions, potatos and scrambled eggs for breakfast - That'll put a little lead in your pencil... ;)
-
They have it right...best tasting treat there is. we even boil'em asap and slice off it right then and there. it gets eaten immediately because its so good.

Nothing better then Heart Rings and Onions in a frying pan of butter!!! :P

Me either. My parents never even made it but I had it a few times at my grand parents years ago and it just wasn't my taste.
There's an account of what took place being typed up now.

Heart was good. Wasn't much different than any other cut. I had her pan fry it with the tenderloins while I was skinning.

I know this is an old thread..... I cooked my deer heart up the other night based on some recipes and ideas on this thread and from google.....here's what I did:
1. After washing it out good with cold water, I soaked it in cold water with a tablespoon of salt dissolved it. Pulls out a lot of the blood. After 20 minutes, rinse well in cold water again.
2. Slice it against the grain of the meat about a half inch thick. Cut out any white parts, leave only the red meat part. Some parts take some clever knife work. Marinate in a clove of chopped garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, splash of Worcester, soy sauce for about an hour.
3. Either fry up with butter alone or with onions. I had dipped it in seasoned flour, but would skip this step next time and just cook it with the marinade. It only takes about a minute and a half per side, you want it red in the center. I think it would taste great over cooked noodles with garlic butter too.
It did not taste like liver at all, more on the side of tenderloin, but with its own special taste. It was quite delicious and I look forward to cooking it again.

In my younger days we all carried a plastic bag for the heart and liver. Can't even remember how many i put in the freezer with the intent of eating them. It never happened ! This year I promised myself the next deer we get, Im trying the heart no if,and,or butts !!! :D
-
I fry mine in butter and cook it in a cast iron skillet ; It's still warm when it hit's the frying pan the fresher the better :P :P :P
