    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….”

      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.

    Try not to pour bottles of alcohol directly into open-flame cooking. This is very important if you're doing this recipe at home over your stove. It's a very easy way to get hurt
    Pouring a whiskey bottle into a hot pan over an open flame is a major fire hazard. If you miss the pan, you can cause a large alcohol fire, which can easily spread to the bottle in your hand. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pour alcohol into containers before pouring into cooking vessels when working with open flames.
