Shot a doe this am and put her heart on ice. Definitely about to eat it but I’ve never cooked one before… any ideas are appreciated.

I either cut them into 1/2 -3/4 in steaks or cut it and keep rolling it so that you end up with one big steak about 1-2 to 3/4 in thick and then season with garlic powder and slap your momma and sear on the pit
Leave it rare to med rare..
If you get several you can cut them into strips and make a red gravy and have them over spaghetti.

Sliced 1/2” thick seasoned and sautéed in butter to medium rare.

“ ” ” “ “ and grilled as previously mentioned

Stuffed with oyster dressing or rice dressing and baked.

Marinate in balsamic vinaigrette overnight in fridge then wash and pat dry with paper towels. Slice 1/4” thick and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Melt a stick of butter in a skillet on high heat then add heart slices until blackened. Remove and serve with a side of Mac and cheese. Good eating.

Trim the fat away and it's a rich muscle. It doesn't render like beef fat. I like to low and low them and maybe a little sear. Hard to screw it up with some eggs and flour too in that pot.

Rare. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Best meat on the entire animal.

Seared in butter. Even my daughter approved and she is beyond brutally honest.

Rinse thoroughly to get all the blood out of it, remove any residual fat. Cut into thin strips, lightly pan sear - makes great tacos.

Do not overcook gets a bit livery if my memory serves me well

Oh helllllll yea!

My only question is how long from the time of kill would you still find the heart suitable to use like that? I found her yesterday after a couple hours and then put the heart on ice as soon as I got home to skin her.

I don't remember the exact recipe but I froze and thawed it, diced it very small, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning, & egg yolk. mixed it all up and ate it with baguette crackers
