    Awesome I always have my whiskey and my gun with me in the woods. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ much safer then it sounds.

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

    The comment section seems trepidatious about the heart. Meanwhile Iโ€™m sitting here thinking โ€œwho the hell would enjoy coffee grinds in their foodโ€?

  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 donโ€™t need any oil.

  9. @spring4522 on December 10, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    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

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

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

    Who carries brown sugar out hunting ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

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

    Beautiful cooking.โค…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 ๐Ÿคค

  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 Iโ€™m doing this with the heart tonight thank god for meateater and YouTube ๐Ÿ˜‚

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

    Two table spoons of butter my ass lol ๐Ÿ˜…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

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

  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!!!

  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 โค๏ธ 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 ๐Ÿ˜Š

  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

    Weโ€™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 weโ€™ve got three whitetail hearts in the fridge right now and canโ€™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! Heโ€™s now 66 years old and said โ€œall those hearts I left in the woodsโ€ฆ.โ€

  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 ๐Ÿ‘

  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
