Clean it up really well
Cut into smaller pieces (big enough to bread but small enough to eat in one bite)
bread and fry
serve over noodles with brown gravy

The best way to prepare your deer heart is to;
Thaw it, trim it of all fat, cut the top section off so you can see inside each chamber. With scissors, trim out all connective tissues inside the heart. Wash out the heart.
Cut up one onion, and one apple. Toss these chuncks into a bowl and add some salt and pepper, mix well.
Stuff the heart with your onion/apple mixture. Keep stuffing until the heart bulges.
Place heart in a broiling pan, etc. place extra onion/apple mix around heart.
Drape a few slices of bacon over heart, held in place with a toothpick.
Bake heart in 350 deg oven until done. Heart will be done, when it is lightly browned, yet still a tiny spec of pink to the meat.
Cut entire heart and bacon up into snack sized pieces, spead out on plate with onion/apple stuffing. Eat with a fork or toothpicks, beer in your other hand.
This is the best way to cook a deer or elk heart, hands down.

I have tried heart cooked a few different ways and never cared for it. I am actually just tagging this thread in case I feel adventurous and want to try it again sometime :tup:

BTW, I love deer heart. I have never succeeded with deer liver, so that becomes coyote food, but the heart always comes home with the deer!

Slice, trim, bread in your choice of flour/crumbs/spices/etc and fry like steak in a little bit of oil. Eat right out of the pan or cover with gravy and mushrooms.
December elk heart, potatoes and gravy with chanterelles.
