the liver needs time in the fridge thawed to neutralize the bile with the natural enzymes, typically I like 5 days... and just barely cook it, very rare in middle.. don't eat a lot of liver but this makes it tolerable..

heart is very choice table fare.. can even pickle if you like snack foods..

next time ask for the tongues too!!, pressure cooked is awesome!

You can make some good sausage with liver.  You might try that.  It's a good way to use up a lot of liver.  Last year my friend used a beef liver I had, plus a couple elk livers and a couple deer livers.  It made a lot of sausage even after everyone had a few meals of liver and onions.

  My mom used to make a dish remaki (i think is how its spelled )with chicken livers . So I made it out of a nice young deers liver one christmas  :drool: Even the non liver liking camp agreed that they liked it ,or at least didnt mind eating it .
 
Cut liver into roughly 1" cubes . Take a slice of canned water chestnut and place on cube .
Take thin sliced bacon and wrap the thing and skewer with toothpick .
 Bake at say 420 until bacon is done .
  Make a dipping sauce (basically a light teryaki) with soy, bit of brown suger and black pepper .

Well, I thawed one of the livers this weekend. Thing was huge. I sliced a small portion of it about 3/4 in, soaked overnight in milk, floured and fried. Still pink in middle. Served over sauteed onions. Very mild, tasty. I will search for some other recipes as I have so much. I re-froze the remainder (will see how that turns out).
Did find a recipe for liver chili, but I don't think that's gonna happen.  :puke:

For both, don't overcook.  Tacos is my favorite for heart, liver is good with onions and veggies or even in a stew.

My dog will eat any part of the animal except the liver, be careful or you might have blood spots to clean out of the carpet where they spit it out.

 :yeah: Saute thick slices of floured heart in some peanut or sesame oil and just a little bit on each side, enough to brown it. serve it with onions and chopped garlic. Salt & pepper. Can't beat it.

Had a couple elk liver meals already.  Mom showed me a trick.  The membrane can be pulled off with a paper towel just like the membrane on pork ribs.

Good stuff.

Here is one for heart that looks pretty darned good.
The pictures from the website look awesome.  http://thehealthyfoodie.com/mushroom-spinach-stuffed-beef-heart/

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH STUFFED BEEF HEART
Yield: Serves 6-8

Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Beef Heart

INGREDIENTS

1 large beef heart (1.75kg)
6 thick slices of bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
454g button mushrooms, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Himalayan salt
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
200g fresh spinach leaves
INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse the heart well under cold running water and pat it really dry.
Cut the heart open (if your butcher hasn’t done that already) and remove any visible strings, arteries and blood vessels that may have been left behind; trim off excess fat, if any. Set aside.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon until nice and crispy then remove it to a plate but leave the fat in pan.
Add the onion, mushrooms salt and pepper to the pan and cook until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg, then throw in the spinach, crispy bacon and chopped garlic. Stir well until the spinach is completely wilted and continue cooking until all the liquid at the bottom of the pan has evaporated. Let cool for a few minutes.
Preheat your oven to 275F
Lay the beef heart fatty side down on a work surface; spoon the stuffing over it and spread it all the way to the edge. Roll the beef heart and tie it up with a few strands of butcher's twine. You might want to run one piece across lengthwise and 2 to 3 pieces crosswise. (if like me you end up with a little too much stuffing, hang on to it: you can reheat it later in a small skillet and serve it alongside the roast)
Melt a fair amount of cooking fat in a large oven-safe skillet set over scorching high heat. Sear the beef heart for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until a nice golden crust forms. When the meat is nicely seared all around, transfer the skillet to the oven and cook the beef heart uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes per pound, depending on desired doneness (rare to medium-rare)
Remove the roast from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Man, Quadra, way to make a guy hungry at work!  I might have to try this- we have a few deer hearts left in the freezer.

We've made jerky out of beef heart because there was so much of it. Turned out great. Just another option. I would never do it with a deer or elk heart - too good.

Not a fan of liver at all. Heart on the other hand is  :drool:. Pan fry with s/p/ g/o powder. Throw it on a plate or between two pieces of bread. Tacos are now on the short list to do. Lucky for me all my friends pony up their deer and elk hearts. Telling me, they don't eat organs  :chuckle:
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

Try anticuchos.  Peruvian delicacy.  Basically beef heart kabobs.  Tried them when I went to Peru and got hooked.  Elk heart is thawing right now :)
