Flaming Deer Heart ❤️

[woodsltc]

Last evening my family and I enjoyed "flambé" deer heart. The deer was a spike deer (1st pic) I killed on the mountain not far from our home.....shot it no more than 100yds from where I shot a good 8pt (2nd pic) last year.

I cubed the deer heart, rubbed in salt, black pepper, garlic powder and olive oil. Then browned the meat and diced onions in melted butter before I added a half cup of brandy and lit it. Served with a good Merlot.

Great light meal after a heavy Thanksgiving feast of roast turkey with all the trimmings the day before.

Don, forgive the drift but you triggered a memory.

Back in college I had been given an assignment to write a short story for my creative writing class. In it I wrote a descriptive sentence about a happy, love struck young man that pranced about like an English Hart.

The next class my paper was handed back to me with a red A- grade.

The prof said I misspelled "heart".

I walked over to her bookshelf and pulled down a worn English Dictionary and showed her; "Hart"~ (a five year old English deer).

got my "A" back.

I've never had deer heart but I used to split a cow with my brother.

Ruthie would cut the heart into thin strips and flash sear them and then simmer them in a cream stroganoff sauce and serve it over broad noodles.

To quote Alton: "good eats!"

I love deer heart (and beef), I take a totally difference approach to it. Cook it whole in crockpot overnight seasoned with salt, pepper and a bunch of bay leaves. Sliced and eat some. Save the water it was cooked in and use to make a box of Stove Top and slice the heart into it.

I'm not able to hunt anymore but my hunting buddies remember me. So far, 2 hearts this year.

Put the liver in a food processer, stuff the heart with it, cook in a microwave.

I'll bet you gave that deer a lot of heartburn!

I'm trying to imagine what image was in the prof's mind when he read what he thought was supposed to be a young man that pranced about like an English heart.

Always loved fresh deer liver and heart fried with lots of onions.

My maternal Grandmother's maiden name was Hart, her family's coat of arms featured a Deer. (a Hart)

Not a fan of heart or liver, but I love venison. Glad you got one. That one is a really nice deer. Hope he is on the wall somewhere!

The second pic is actually one of the deer I killed last year (near to where I killed the "spike" this year).....and yeah, he did make it to the wall. Don

I like that European mount. Did you do it yourself?

Nope......I had a friend who's good at those things do it for me.
