I take the membrane off, cut into 1/4 pieces, soak in salt water, melt some butter, add some sliced onion and flash fry to a medium

Main thing is to get all the blood out the chambers by rinsing and squeezing until no blood remains. Battered and fried has been my favorite

cut into strips about the size of fajita meat. Sauté in butter and then add taco seasoning.

Make fajitas.

I’ve had it seared rare, best way to do it IMHO. A fried of mine makes deer heart ceviche. Minced fine and then cured in onion, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice and cilantro. I was skeptical but it is fantastic! Of course it’s all mute point now after getting the good ole alpha gal……

Here's what I did up from her deer today, even though we are having spaghetti, fresh is key.

Trimmed, sliced, salt water, steak seasoning then into the pan with butter.

She went and got the heart to try, everyone liked it

It's my favorite piece of a deer! Wash it really good, slice thin, flour and fry is how I always do it.

 

[WOODIE13]

You can make a stew also

Looks good..

Y'all know me. I'll eat about anything and just about anything rare or even raw..

I'd have to think about this one though.
Like most things.. I'd probably tear it up.

We grind it up. Make heart burger.

I make dog jerky out of the heart and liver. My dog loves it.

Grilled medium rare like a steak.

I dedicate every heart I don't destroy with a bullet to Ticker Tacos. Clean heart sliced in to strips and seasoned with salt, pepper, Cumin, and paprika then seared hot and fast with either olive oil or some lard. A squirt of fresh lime juice is good, too. Simple and heart just seems to lend itself well to that purpose.

We grind it up. Make heart burger.

I forgot about that...

It's good in sausage but I ain't never tried it in burger.

The meat packer I worked at when I was a kid put hearts in their cooked "County Style Sausage" and it was good. (Pig)

Probably just a good way to add weight to sell and not have to throw the hearts away.

Fantastic!!!!

All the above is good!!

Another way is stuff them (after cleaning out the chambers) with jalapeño / bell peppers / onion and smoke them.

Edited: another option my daughter in law used recently, she’s Spanish - make a dry pico de gallo and stuff them with that. She stuff deer heart and squirrel last week and smoked them.
