My son just got a nice 8 pointer and want to try the heart. Only thing I know is salt,pepper, and butter in a fry pan. Anything else?
Thanks

Then add to Top Ramen, without the flavor pack that is hard as a bullion cube. Best eaten in a drenched two man tent after 3 days of wind and rain.

Darn that looks like something to look forward too. Son gets heart I get back straps .

I boil heart slice it up put in jar with sliced onion 50 -50 mix water & vinegar into fridge about ten days and enjoy

Soak in salt water over night cut up in small strips and cook in sautéed onions it’s a favorite at my house

Soak in Italian dressing and worchershire sauce, after slicing up, to marinade at least as long as it takes to get your frying pan smoking hot. Cook hot and fast and enjoy!

I like it like beef tips flower brown then add onions mushrooms and beef stock. Simmer for while. Eat on noodles or rice

In 50 years of hunting, we ate deer heart the first night of every season. All we ever did was slice the heart, cut out he arteries and veins, put in a cast iron pan with butter, salt and pepper, and fry. Man-O-Man, after a day of hunting it sure is good.

You don't need to do anything special to it. It is good, in my opinion, just plain fried --- doing nothing special. Don't make it harder than it needs to be. Sounds like you have it down. Salt, pepper and butter, then make some gravy out of the drippings, in the pan.

Thanks everyone.

i do same

Interesting video Catch, I may try that on my next one.

That video makes it look a lot harder than it really is. Just slice the heart in strips, cut out the arteries, and fry. Ain't much to it.

agree!!!!

Soak em in salt water overnight. Dip slices in flour, fry briefly in HOT skillet with salt and pepper. Frying drippings makes a good gravy too.

I see absolutely no reason to soak in salt water.

Lol, that's exactly what they did.

Bread in flour, salt and pepper and fry.

Drop the flour and fry in butter. You don't need no stinking" flour.

I cut it into chunks, salt pepper then roll it in some flour, brown it with some butter in a pressure cooker. Then add some bayleaf, a dozen or so juniper berries a glass of red wine and some shrooms. Mixed dried ones work fine. Cook it till it almost falls apart. thicken the liquid to a gravy and serve with potato dumplings and red cabbage
