Venison Heart

[CTXSmokeLover]

Happy New Year fellow meat lovers. It's been a busy past month so I haven't been around to post/chat as much as I would have liked. I'm ready to get back in the swing of things. Hope all is well with everyone.

Wanted to start the new year off right with a beautiful venison heart.

Cleaned it up, marinated in Worcestershire for a few hours and seasoned for the cast iron. I saw a video on Meateater where they cooked a heart using a whiskey butter, so I decided to go that route as well. I also used a light dusting of Hardcore Carnivore Camo game seasoning (thanks Santa for the stocking stuffer!), pretty good stuff, highly recommend.

This turned out fantastic and is a method I will definitely use again in the future. Great flavor and oh so tender. This was a perfect appetizer for our picanha main course later in the evening.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year to all

That venison heart looks perfect. It hurts to think about all the hearts I either fed the dogs or went into the gut pile back in the day...

Same here. My middle son and i was just talking about that last week. We just recently started saving them, probably the last 5-7 years. Scores left in the field for the critters:{
