Try this simple and delicious way to cook Pan-Fried Deer Heart. (Even if you don't like other organs, the heart is delicious!)
I hope you'll check out the video on how I cleaned the deer heart, as well as a bit of an impromptu discussion with my husband on his favourite cuts of venison. It makes him so sad to hear that people leave the heart in the field. Its not weird like liver or other internal organs...I promise its worth a try!

This is amazing! I have a pic of our hearts from our deer it's my oldest boys favorite cut. My extended family was quite upset when they found out after they had had deer heart tacos for my son's birthday (his personal request).

I cleaned my first heart thanks to your direction this year and made this recipe. I think it is my favorite part of the deer now it’s so delicious!

Followed this recipe for my first time cooking deer heart! Will be using it for deer steaks as well! My boyfriend and his dad never eat the heart and I got them to try this and they both liked it!

This has become a staple in our home. I can’t believe I’m admitting it, but we always threw our hearts out. I’m so glad that you shared this recipe on your IG because it inspired me to save the next one. I made it for dinner, into a gravy served over potatoes. I hadn’t told my husband what cut I used. He was certain it was BACK STRAP. Thank you for the perfect recipe to a tender heart ? on a serious note, recommending this to ALL of my hunter’s-wife friends!

Trimmed as you suggested and sliced it thin. I used canola oil instead of butter. Seasoned with salt, pepper and diced onion. Turned out delicious!!
Thanks!!
