Crock Pot Deer Heart Recipes

DEER HEART

Steps:

• Soak heart in salted water in back hall for 24 hours, changing water 3 times. After 3rd change fill with milk. Dad will think this is a waste of milk and may cause a need to leave camp to go to the store. Make sure pot is covered at all times in back hall or a mouse may fall in. Rinse heart well, cut meat away from heart. Slice very thin like shaved steak. Pat dry on paper towel, season. Heat large black pan. Brown onion slices in part of the butter and oil. Remove. Quick fry meat in remainder of oil and butter. Return onions to pan. Can serve like steak and cheese sandwich with melted cheese.

• Place in small roasting pan, cover with broth and add bay leaf.
• Cover and bake at 325 for 2 1/2 hours.

CROCKPOT BEEF HEART STUFFED WITH BACON, MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS. RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Cook the bacon. Remove from pan and rough chop. Healthy saute the mushrooms, garlic and onions in a frying pan with 1/3 c. beef broth. Add bacon to the mix when veggies are cooked. Clean the heart by trimming off most of the fat and any obvious arteries from the outside. Then stuff all of the frying-pan ingredients into the heart cavity. Really stuff it full and then use toothpicks -- the longer the better -- to hold it together. You can also using cooking twine. Put the stuffed heart in the crock pot along with the broth and olive oil and some more garlic. Cook for 11-12 hours on low. Don't skimp on the cooking time, or else you risk ending up with tough rubbery meat. Mine turned out pretty fantastic. The heart sometimes falls apart because it is so juicy and tender.

DEER OR ELK HEART, BOILED

Steps:

• 1. Wash and clean a whole heart. Cut off the fat on the top and any grisel on top that you can feel. Place in a large bowl or non metal container. Fill with cold water that will cover the heart. Pour salt over and set in refrigerator for 2 days, changing the water and salt every day. I have set a plate on top to keep it submerged..I have tried a zip lock bag but be very careful.
• 2. After heart has soaked. Pour off the salted water. Rinse heart. Place in pot, large enough to cover with water & has a lid. Add water.
• 3. Add salt & pepper to your taste, onion flakes (or diced onion), and garlic powder..(or a clove of garlic)
• 4. Bring to a boil. Turn down down to simmer and put on lid. Simmer for 3 to 4 hours. The longer it simmers, the more tender it will be. Add water as needed to keep heart covered. Poke heart with fork to feel how tender it is.
• 5. Remove heart and let cool enough to handle. Take a knife and peel off the outer layer(looks kind of like a thin skin). You can also trim the inside cavity a much as possible. Your pet will love the scraps.
• 6. Cut heart into thin slices and trim interior holes as needed. Place in ziploc to keep it from drying out.
• 7. You can also use an elk, moose or beef heart. Of course, they take longer to cook.
• 8. To make sandwich, use your choice of bread & your own sides and layer 3 or more slices on top. Salt and pepper to taste.
