That's exactly why we don't waste our time with livers. I'm not big on beef liver either. Lol
YUM!

One of my hunting partners always said it was just a big filter and he wouldn't eat and oil filter so this was out as well.
But don't ya think his analogy applies more to the liver? I think it's more like a carburetor.
I actually was referring to @M1A1ABRAMS comment on liver's. I agree the heart is if much more like a carburetor. Bring them on, I love hearts.

My wife is less than enthusiastic about it, so I buy her Chic-fil-et. And little does she know, about what she's eating. lol
Almost makes me want to harvest a deer in the back yard. I slice up the heart and liver than put in a seasoning over night. FAST FRY Cook in a Cast Skillet with butter/olive oil/wine. sizzled on the outside and rare in the center.
Most EXCELENT!!! used an appetizer. Then have a homemade BEER. We have (6) Kegs ready to start the process. Takes about 2-6 months to brew an excellent libation.
I'll slice one up tonight and give it a try. Growing up hunting with my dad he never liked heart or liver, so I never tried them. I did eventually try liver and I am not a fan, but will try the heat tonight.
Plan is salt, pepper and garlic, with olive oil, will see how it tastes.
Question, do you fully cook it, or medium rare? I like all cuts and meat rare, medium rare, like almost still alive and kicking LOL.

I like mine medium rare.
I will soak mine in salt water over night and rinse well before slicing 1/2 slices from the top down. I try to get most of the cartilage or whatever it is off so it's not chewy. Season it up and into a hot cast iron. I love morel mushrooms with my deer heart. Coyote shadow tracker recipe is spot on also!
Thank you, I'll try both yours and @Coyote Shadow Tracker recipe. I will also try some with Panko breading crumbs, similar to @FEENIX recipe, but without the olives.
Thanks for sharing gentlemen.
Tongue slow cooked in a Salsa Verde is delicious. In tacos with corn tortillas, topped with a bit if lime juice, cilantro and onion, and a good hot salsa.

I am definitely glad I tried, it came out tender and delicious. Marinated in olive oil, pepper, salt and garlic, cooked on butter and high heat, delicious. Heart donuts. Thanks again.

I mostly bow hunt,and with bow kills I've found that animals seem to expire faster with a double lung hit than a heart shot. A double bonus is the heart is intact for a feast later. I believe this is because all the blood that goes through the heart passes through the lungs and with a double lung hit the pump remains intact, and the blood can be pumped out faster than gravity fed. Another bonus is better blood trails. Just my opinion, I can't prove it.
