Cherry smoked deer heart

[crazymoon]

This is my favorite method for a deer heart,trim the majority of the fat off.

Roll in any rub you desire, I used a Weber hot/sweet rub after rubbing with olive oil .

Smoked in cherry wood chips at 225*-250* for close to 4 hours

I usually have one or two hot slices and then let cool for a cheese/cracker combo but I ate 1/2 of it right out of the smoker with a cold beer ,delicious !!! Thanks for looking. CM

I did one last year, turned out excellent. Haven’t yet tried beef or pork like I wanted to. Looking forward to another one or two hearts this season.

Smoked Venison Heart

A friend of mine likes the heart, so whenever I get a deer I save it for him. This year he picked up the first one within hours, it was still warm. He cuts them in to small chunks and pan fries them in butter. He’s always said they are tough, but that’s why they cut them small. We got a...

Adam, I quit using a probe as I was missing the meat and putting it in the chamber and getting false readings.Some hearts I do around 3 hours at 250 and they are medium rare ,this one was about four and is medium.

JC, The higher the temp and the longer it is in the smoker will make the outside a bit chewy but the middle is like a good steak. The whole heart is delicious.

Awesome Looking Deer Heart, CM!!!
Nice Job!
Like.
We always tried to consume the Heart the night of the Kill, or as close as Possible.
Unless of course some Non-Thinking Daniel Boone blew the heart into pieces!!!
