    It took years of convincing my dad to try heart. Well, last night he shot a buck. He used the Meat Eater tutorial video on how to clean the heart and then cooked with this recipe. He loved it! He’s now 66 years old and said “all those hearts I left in the woods….”

    We’ve always brined the heart in the fridge overnight, then cut it into pieces and cooked it on the grill as kebabs with onion, bell pepper and cherry tomato.

      What does deer heart taste like? I’m not talking about recipes, seasonings, and different ways to cook. I can take care of that. I mean pure taste along with texture. I imagine a deer heart texture would be very chewy and juicy. What about liver? I imagine the texture of liver would be soft and smooth like jello but become gritty as you chew...

      @@HarleyQuinn_93 The heart has a mild venison taste (not gamey) and as long as you don't cook it 'well done' has a texture similar to a steak. Not overly chewy at all.
      I'm not a fan of deer liver... High mineral/iron/blood flavor (which makes sense, but isn't that great to eat). Could be the way I'm preparing it.

    For a long time, I left the heart in many a gut pile in the woods, but I decided to start keeping the heart several years ago. Always carry a small plastic bag to rescue it for the skillet. It is amazingly tender and not real gamey in flavor. It's the first thing I eat on the deer. I actually simmer it in butter in a covered skillet on low heat. I dip it in steak sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing.

Especially for the effort. Managed to eat half a liver, chickens loved it though. And the heart cleaned and then quick marinade soy sauce rosemary oregano. Still amazing for the effort.
