Venison Heart Fajitas

[WNYBuckHunter]

Trim out the heart and slice lengthwise in half. Trim out inner tendons and then slice 1/4" thick lengthwise slices. Slice up a medium size yellow onion, a red pepper and a green pepper. Heat 1TBS olive oil in a skillet and add onion and pepper plus fajita seasoning (I use a packet from the store, 1/2 of the packet is fine) with 1/3 cup water. Cook onion and pepper until they start becoming soft, and the water has been cooked off, then add 1TBS minced garlic and your slices of meat. Cook until meat is medium, making sure to flip and stir often, so as not to burn the garlic. Serve on warm tortillas with sour cream and hot sauce. I also substitute the sour cream with Taco Bell brand Jalapeno sauce.

not gunna lie, that sounds amazing!

No problem. You can do the same with just about any other cut, I just love doing this with the heart.

Looks so good it makes me want to SLAP my MOMMA !!

Trouble is, I gotta wait a year to get another deer heart ...

Guess I'll have to try it with some sliced up steaks..

Do you deliver?

[WNYBuckHunter]

LMAO, yeah I deliver, from my fork to my mouth is as far as I go though!

Pygmy, its great with steaks too, just dont overcook them, its easy to do with the slices being so thin.

[Pygmy]

It's a crime against nature to overcook venison..

The Mermaid has orders to WHIP me if I should overcook it..

Kinda makes it a win/win proposition..<<wink>>....

[Pygmy]

I tried this recipe with venison round steaks, sliced into 1/4" strips..

SUCCULENT !! The Mermaid and I polished off the whole skillet full, and we're just a couple of scrawny old senior citizens ..<<grin>>...

How does the heart taste like? I never tried it so have no idea, just like "the other meat" ???

I've eaten lots of deer hearts, but I find it difficult to answer that question, Bkln...

The FLAVOR is definitely VENISON like..It's the TEXTURE that is unique...It is very dense meat, but still not tough...The fibers are so close together that a heart muscle does not get bloodshot like other parts of the deer. Shoot a deer through the middle of the heart and all you have to do is cut away the hole. The rest of it is fine..
