Awesome I always have my whiskey and my gun with me in the woods. 😂😂😂 much safer then it sounds.
The comment section seems trepidatious about the heart. Meanwhile I’m sitting here thinking “who the hell would enjoy coffee grinds in their food”?
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
Im just hereforthatcameltoe
Heart is best eat since 5
Dang that looks amazing. The steak meat too. Haha.
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.
Just used this recipe for an Oryx heart, and it’s amazing. Thank you
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.
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
Who carries brown sugar out hunting 😲
Beautiful cooking.❤…but how do you know the right time to take the meat off the fire…..to keep it medium rare….
Do you have a motorcycle?
Tell Steve I found a hunting buddy.
That looks yum! I am celebrating an unsuccessful hunt and having macaroni and cheese, not quite as good.
Drooling 🤤
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.
aye wheres steve
Butter and garlic salt in a cast iron skillet is all you need.
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.
Just got a doe this morning and I’m doing this with the heart tonight thank god for meateater and YouTube 😂
Two table spoons of butter my ass lol 😅that was half the block
That looks so freaking delicious!!!
What a woman!
Looks delicious
If you notice my heart is already cut into two pieces.
Same man same
Thanks for the info 😊
Watch for the flare up!
Game heart is one of my favorites
OMG! Whoever snatched this girl as a wife is so lucky!!!
👍😃✌️🇺🇸
Yum!
The heart needs to be cooked rare to medium rare
Already stole my heart ❤️ awesome! Tasted so good!!!
Heart is one of my favorite that looks great ty – all the best 😊
Fresh venison heart, and liver, are two of the best things in a deer camp I know.
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.
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.
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.
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….”
I used Pendleton for this and lord have mercy I’m loving the whiskey butter
Thank you 👍
OMG that looks raw
I’m hungry after watching this
I usually just swallow the heart whole and raw
Everyone I know throws the heart out. I tried it, it was delicious, tender, lots of meat. Absolutely worth keeping
what’s better than a beautiful woman making a delicious venison heart
Us hmong folks just butterfly the heart salt it cook it brifely over the fire and then dip it in thai pepper and fish sauce, best ever
