Cooking DEER HEART The EASY Way
Vložit

- Don't over complicate deer heart. Heart is one of the best pieces of meat on wild game animals and fairly simple to cook. In this video, I show you how to clean the heart, season and cook it via a cast iron pan.
We also utilize chanterelle mushrooms from our mushroom foraging/cooking video on the @CliffGray channel. (Coming next week. Subscribe for when it comes out.)

I wish I didn’t watch this while hungry. Thanks a lot lol
Now that looks absolutely amazing Cliff! And about as healthy as it gets too 👍 Lovin' these cooking vids lately brother!
Thanks man!
@@CliffGray Anytime man... anytime!
perfect breakfast
yes sir!
I just started eating the deer hearts a couple years back and amazed how good they taste. In fact, we make fajitas out of the meat and I have to fight for my fair share from my 9 year old daughter who cannot wait to hunt her own deer next year.
That’s awesome! My kids are the same way, haha!
Same here! Love deer heart fajitas. I almost enjoy it better than the tender loins... almost
Looks yummy. I've not eaten much heart, but people tell me I've got a lot of heart. Don't eat me.
Ha! 👍
My 12 year old son took his first whitetail yesterday, and the heart and tenderloin are for supper tonight
I usually don't field dress elk or deer, but did a recent elk due to the high temps. I kept the heart to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. The texture was a lot like liver, which I hate, but the taste was very good. I won't dig one out, but will keep it if I do field dress one out of necessity.
Good deal!
I cut it thin, due to the texture 👍
If you are gutlessing elk, you can always pop through the cartridge on top of a couple ribs, then stomp them in.Pretty easy… pull ribs back, grab heart 👍👍👍
@@CliffGray great tip! I will definitely give that a try! I do like to utilize as much as possible!
Good job
I eat hearts
Always fresh
Always Rare
Love cast Iron!!!
Haha! I’m with you! 👍
Looks amazing
Love these videos...So glad I found your page.
glad you enjoy them. thanks
Love it! We gotta work on a knife together man…
That’s my favorite part of any critter my daughters as well
👍
Sadly we can't really do this in the UK (Shoot Deer). However, we do have contact who can. Interesting to see how you deal with the heart. Thanks.
My first time was this year and glad I tried it ate it over the fire with backstrap
Nice! That’s a good way to do it. 👍
Looks great. Can you serve the trimmings to a dog? Any risk of illness to a hunting dog?
No problem for a dog as far as I know
How do you feel about freezing organs for cooking at a later date? Does the congealed blood inside the heart cause any problems when you freeze/thaw it whole?
I try to eat heart fresh. If I can’t for some reason, I’ll slice it into one big flat piece and clean it before freezing.
Liver I almost always freeze, just get the blood off of it and out of it beforehand. 👍👍👍
I agree with his statement oftentimes I'll cook the meat and Cann it I don't use refrigerator or freezer. I also do salt sugar and honey curing
Awesome! There is nothing like heart tacos done in cast iron. I like mine with Morels I forage in the spring. I also collect and restore old cast iron as a hobby, so I do mine in 100+ year old pans and it’s amazing. Do you guys get Morels out there?
I personally haven’t gotten into morels in the CO mountains. I’m sure they would be awesome with heart! 👍
@@CliffGray oh they are! I find tons here in Utah. They’re my favorite mushroom. I also find some Oysters when I’m out but the Morels by far are the best. For the blacks, check NE facing slopes along creeks in conifer burns, around 5-7k elevation, usually they’re within 100-200 yards of the creek. Dandelions, Glacier Lilies, Oregon Grape, and other mushrooms are great indicators. Out here we find them usually from April into June. For the blondes, 4-6k elevation along creeks with mature and dying cottonwoods, with the same indicator species listed above. I know they occur in Colorado so you’re apt to find some!
@@TheModernDayMountainMan thanks Gary! great info... ill track some down!
@@CliffGray my pleasure! If you’re in Utah at all this spring hit me up, I’ll take ya out.
@@TheModernDayMountainMan sounds good. Thanks!
You ever notice that eating a venison heart makes your piss look like you just ate a multivitamin?? Or is it just me
I haven’t noticed… but I’m gunna pay attention next time I eat some. Interesting to hear if anyone else has had that!
