How do you prepare elk heart?

I've never had it. So how do you do it? I'm thinking that it will either be fried or grilled for simplicity. How do you prep it? I've got it hanging now, is that ok?
Thanks

I trim the fat clean out the vaines and hollow it out. take the hollowed out meat and mix it with the following:
1/4 pound Italian sausage, one package of cornbread stuffing and one apple peeled, cored and diced along with a small onion. Stuff the heart with the stuffing and bake at 350 until done. If you have left over stuffing place it around the heart in the pan you are roasting it in.

I slice it up about 3/4 inch slices, trim off fat or any tendonous material, coat in seasoning then flour and fry in a hot pan leaving it about medium rare.

We always eat the heart the night of the kill or the next day. It a celebratory feast.
We cook it very simple. Butter in a frying pan, and then cook down some sweet onions till they're browned. Slice the heart into 1/2" slices (look like round disks). Little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook medium-meduim rare.

I cleaned mine, cut into 1/2" cubes and used it in my special chili recipe. I ended up canning 6 quarts and 2 pints of chili for those cold wet winter Saturdays

Thanks guys. Right now I'get got it hanging in a game bag and was going to cook it when we started butchering. Is that OK or should I not let it hang anymore?

I wouldn't hang it. I always trim well and let soak in water and a little salt over night. I slice about a half inch. Dust with flour, johnnys, and pepper. Fry in a hot pan. Bacon grease works well.

Slice into rings, then flour and fry in butter. The BEST part of an animal IMO.

Slice it, fry medium rare and serve in tortillas with your favorite condiment. There really isn't any other way to do it if you ask me.

I soak it in salt water for 24 hrs, then like everyone else said. Cut out all the fat and the tubes and then I put a little oil and seasoning in a fry pan and get it really hot. Cut the heart into finger steaks and cook real quick on both sides leaving it medium rare. Then I pull them off and put them on paper towels. Then I grill bacon and onions, drain off the grease in the pan and at the last minute dump the elk heart back in and serve. Very tender that way and very tasty. Let us know how you ended up doing it and how it turned out.
