    Awesome I always have my whiskey and my gun with me in the woods. 😂😂😂 much safer then it sounds.

  2. @coachcaseyhill2890 on December 10, 2024 at 8:06 pm

    The comment section seems trepidatious about the heart. Meanwhile I’m sitting here thinking “who the hell would enjoy coffee grinds in their food”?

  3. @aparson2967 on December 10, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    When you’re hunting you’re not carrying whiskey and coffee rub…..or oil…or cast iron pans, grills, or cooking mitts.

    The recipe looks good at home, but it is not a field cook

    Love this recipe, hoping I can use it to show my wife and sister inlaw how good heart really is

    Heart is best eat since 5

  7. @nathanielbetteridge4978 on December 10, 2024 at 8:11 pm

    Dang that looks amazing. The steak meat too. Haha.

  8. @charlesdelone6861 on December 10, 2024 at 8:14 pm

    If you want a really nice sear, dry your meat off before throwing it in the pan and use a super conservative amount of oil… best of you have a well seasoned pan and don’t need any oil.

    I have a plate of this infront of me as I write. Best recipe ever. And over the years I’ve eaten a lot of heart. Like I wrote, this is the best.

  10. @WarrenBronson on December 10, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    Just used this recipe for an Oryx heart, and it’s amazing. Thank you

  11. @boxy8438 on December 10, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    Based on my post 1 year ago. I finally tried this recipe. I slightly overcooked and learned the difference between butter and margarine spread. My sauce was a soup. But just experience to try again. Was still good.

  12. @danm8747 on December 10, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    I’m planning on harvesting a deer in the next week or two and wanted to try a heart recipe.
    I’ll book mark this one

  13. @chriscarr6016 on December 10, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    Who carries brown sugar out hunting 😲

  14. @wilsonsongthiang7528 on December 10, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    Beautiful cooking.❤…but how do you know the right time to take the meat off the fire…..to keep it medium rare….

  15. @Sebastian-st6gg on December 10, 2024 at 8:21 pm

    Do you have a motorcycle?

  16. @WetFeetSux913 on December 10, 2024 at 8:21 pm

    Tell Steve I found a hunting buddy.

  17. @jerryseeley276 on December 10, 2024 at 8:22 pm

    That looks yum! I am celebrating an unsuccessful hunt and having macaroni and cheese, not quite as good.

  18. @givemethepills8049 on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    Drooling 🤤

  19. @jimdiroffii on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    Just made this again, great recipe for heart. I cut mine into strips before cooking and use a timer, more surface area for seasoning. No more than 4 minutes total on the skillet. Thinnest pieces get pulled early.

  20. @sadrootbeer on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    aye wheres steve

  21. @danielhogue6484 on December 10, 2024 at 8:27 pm

    Butter and garlic salt in a cast iron skillet is all you need.

  22. @initialfunk on December 10, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    I tried this. its was an absolute hit.
    bunch of the old hunters were telling me not to cook the heart. "Weve tried. it was terrible." I served it up and the plate was empty in no time. Everyone was blown away.

  23. @haydenwalker55 on December 10, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    Just got a doe this morning and I’m doing this with the heart tonight thank god for meateater and YouTube 😂

  24. @stevieboy2009 on December 10, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    Two table spoons of butter my ass lol 😅that was half the block

  25. @monsieurdubois2830 on December 10, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    That looks so freaking delicious!!!

  26. @dp-116 on December 10, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    What a woman!

  27. @askarielad on December 10, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    Looks delicious

  28. @liftedpotato6973 on December 10, 2024 at 8:31 pm

    If you notice my heart is already cut into two pieces.
    Same man same

  29. @richardtrammell7521 on December 10, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    Thanks for the info 😊

  30. @anthonymg73 on December 10, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    Watch for the flare up!

  31. @SL1CK1307 on December 10, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    Game heart is one of my favorites

  32. @rasalghul9331 on December 10, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    OMG! Whoever snatched this girl as a wife is so lucky!!!

  33. @locksbog4270 on December 10, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    👍😃✌️🇺🇸

  34. @fishlovme on December 10, 2024 at 8:37 pm

    Yum!

  35. @michaelmorgan5303 on December 10, 2024 at 8:38 pm

    The heart needs to be cooked rare to medium rare

  36. @charliecurfman8859 on December 10, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    Already stole my heart ❤️ awesome! Tasted so good!!!

  37. @verngfeller3906 on December 10, 2024 at 8:41 pm

    Heart is one of my favorite that looks great ty – all the best 😊

  38. @luke5767 on December 10, 2024 at 8:43 pm

    Fresh venison heart, and liver, are two of the best things in a deer camp I know.

  39. @thedarkhush3264 on December 10, 2024 at 8:44 pm

    Pfff ive used $100 22yr bourbon in cooking , even used 4 jerky marinade. You only live once, and i will have many more bottles in my lifetime.

  40. @flamecolumn on December 10, 2024 at 8:50 pm

    We’ve always brined the heart in the fridge overnight, then cut it into pieces and cooked it on the grill as kebabs with onion, bell pepper and cherry tomato.
    But we’ve got three whitetail hearts in the fridge right now and can’t wait to try this recipe tomorrow night.

  41. @stickbowsniper on December 10, 2024 at 8:50 pm

    I made this and it tasted good. But when I poured in the whiskey to deglaze the iron skillet it immediately burst into flames that shot up 3′ and burned for about 6 seconds. So you guys be careful about that.

  42. @vitamind2387 on December 10, 2024 at 8:50 pm

    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….”

  43. @austinpnw2235 on December 10, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    I used Pendleton for this and lord have mercy I’m loving the whiskey butter

  44. @wolverinekut on December 10, 2024 at 8:52 pm

    Thank you 👍

  45. @genxiong2695 on December 10, 2024 at 8:52 pm

    OMG that looks raw

  46. @katabeats on December 10, 2024 at 8:56 pm

    I’m hungry after watching this

  47. @BluegillsandBeyond on December 10, 2024 at 8:57 pm

    I usually just swallow the heart whole and raw

  48. @tadschoonover299 on December 10, 2024 at 9:00 pm

    Everyone I know throws the heart out. I tried it, it was delicious, tender, lots of meat. Absolutely worth keeping

  49. @michaelvonhaven105 on December 10, 2024 at 9:01 pm

    what’s better than a beautiful woman making a delicious venison heart

  50. @qouavang3646 on December 10, 2024 at 9:02 pm
