Eating Heart

[Tikka7mm]

I've never tried heart but I notice there are a lot of people that do. What part do you eat and how do cook it....temp etc? Do you clean it out?What does it taste like? I really enjoy the liver with onions and bacon but heart is new to me.

Any ideas.

I've only eaten it once, but I really enjoyed it. I can't stand liver, but the heart is quite flavorable. My uncle cooked it, just pan fried in steak like cross cuts about 1/2" thick. I don't recall anything special for seasoning but I'm sure you could add whatever you wish. I kept the heart of my bison this year to have my brother-in law to stuff for me. He's a trained chef, so he should put something fantastic together.

Tastes just like any other muscle (delicious!). Clean all the blood out of it, slice, dice, and pan fry. Lots of other good ways to do it, but that's how I've usually done it.

take all the stuff out of the inside and stuff it and cook it like a roast...

Its the best edible part of any animal. I.M.O. i usually just do the slice and dice and fry it up with some onions and bacon and lots of salt n pepper .good stuff!

Heart makes exellent Jerky, it's a real treat. Prepare it as you would any jerky.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Good link, thanks lip_ripper00. I'm a little confused though? It sounds like there is a cavity that you have to cut out of the centre? I guess the only way to figure it out is to do it. It sounds really good though so next ungulate I take I'll definitley be taking the heart home for din din. Too bad I'm going to have to wait another 8 months to try it out.

stirfry is my fav. and that way you can cut away the parts you don't want. i also too don't like liver but love heart. its kinda rubbery but not stringy.
