2 well spoken, intelligent people, speaking very candidly about eating an animal. I appreciate what Mr. Rinella is doing for the greater good of hunters and other meat eaters. Thank you for this.
I never thought about it cleaning one that way. As someone who does save the heart but realizing that not everyone does I really like her way of presenting it, I think it would make it more appealing for more hunters or non hunters to try. Very impressed with her approach of wild game presentation
I'm proud of how well you all did with the anatomy. I hunt and also teach a human anatomy course and you have no idea how similar to a human heart both in size and the structures are to a whitetail heart. Those tendons are called chordea tendineae. The keep the valves between the atria and ventricles from prolapsing
I worked for a outfitter years back his wife would pan fry Antelope and Deer hearts. This was something she did for breakfast. She did not take time to prepare it like this method. It was still tasty. I love the way you prepared this heart.
My brother in law wounded a doe and it ran a mile or two before we got her. The heart tasted like liver. Not good at all. I noticed after that any animal that doesn’t die very quickly has a foul tasting heart. In my opinion.
@@Concernedcitizen23-r5n true. The longer the animal stays alive and in agony it releases stress hormones into the blood mainly adrenaline but a few others that can taint the taste of the meat. Had that experience with a Antelope shot with a bow in Nevada years ago.
neutron star galaxy thanks for the reply. I knew there was some science behind it. It’s prolly the same when you kill a buck durning the rut and he taste like ass. He’s been chasing does and running like a wild man
Last year at hunt camp I prepared deer heart for all the people there. None had ever tried it despite knowing that I always keep them. They have all gone as far as keeping the hearts for me. I'm pretty sure after last year that I won't be getting as many anymore. They all were surprised that they really enjoyed deer heart. Give it try, folks. It's delicious! Thanks, Steven!
Hey Steven. We haven't formally met, but I've listened to all your you know whos podcasts and you've taught me loads. Thanks a ton. Spearfishing, elk tracking, mountain lion tracking, trapping, and now heart cleaning. Thanks man!
This is an awesome tutorial. Thank you so much. I've always just cross sectioned heart and fried it up but this your method is so much more efficient and I'm sure results in a much tastier cut. Now on to getting my elk heart prepared and read to sear.
Best YT clip I’ve seen on heart and how to properly clean and butcher it, well done! I use the same technique, different terminology. I follow the seams or sheet the meat same as a hind quarter or shoulder.
Another year, another looking up of this video. I'm getting quicker but still grateful for the reference and easy to follow directions with anatomy info. Thank you!
the heart is probably my favorite piece of meat and i wouldnt have tried it to be honest had i not seen your video on cooking the heart over a fire in caul fat. I love it now and am so happy i tried it. thanks for posting this. just another new and tasty way to cook it. love your cooking videos

Amazing! All my family legitimately couldn't get enough of it. Used a doe heart with this recipe - I can't imagine NOT saving the heart with each kill going forward, and probably won't dare try any other heart recipe after having savored this one. Thanks, Danielle & Steve!
After watching Meat Eater right before this past deer season I made a point to slice up and pan fry some fresh venison heart for the guys at deer camp. Some didn't even know it was heart until after I'd told them. Happy to report that it was delicious and it will be something that I personally continue to keep and prepare.Thank you for the great content and your insights
The "heart strings" Miss Prewett is referring to are called the chordae tendinae. They are attached to the papillary muscles, which are responsible for closing the atrioventricular valves prior to ventricular contraction.
In my opinion, the single, best venison cut. I'm 60+ and love to learn something new. This is the first demo I've watched actually butchering the heart properly. Very nicely done! Have you both watched/listened/read the Scott Rea Project (YT) and his books? Old-school butchery. Also really good.
I agree David. The first thing I eat from the deer I kill is the heart, and the tenderloin from inside the rib cage. Those never get package and frozen. They get eaten within a hour or two of the kill. Like you said: it is amazing!
@@dantheman9534 I fry up the heart and the testicles the first thing. Then eat the deer brains with scrambled eggs for breakfast the fallowing morning 😋
The last 4 hearts I've made I've sliced the heart perpendicular 1/4" thick, smashed paper thin with a meat mallet, dredged in flour and breadcrumbs, fried in vegetable oil, and served over mashed potatoes with a creamy mushroom gravy. It's unbelievably good. I call it heart attack heart (form of jagerschnitzle).
Our elk guide cleans heart very much the same way. Much cleaner than I’m used to. Rolls in flour sprinkled garlic salt on and fry in butter. Best ever by far! Delicious delicacy!
Great to see nothing is wasted and wonderful to see the girls getting involved. Great ambassador for our lifestyle Steve. We need someone like you promoting hunting here in Australia...!!!
I just cleaned the heart of a whitetail deer. Perfect meal. I love deer. Also moose and elk. I got a Deer lastnight so this video is awsome for a newbie to cooking. Love hunting also. I use savage99 model f 308 caliber. Works great for all game in Saskatchewan.
That was perfect. So many questions answered. Organs can be intimidating, make more versions of this about other organs as well and with all popular game species.

I cut top off as shown (I should trim the fat cause I too notice the waxy roof effect) rinse, soak overnight in salt brine, cook in a pot with seasoning, onions, carrots then just slice it thin.
