Ingredients
- 1 venison heart
- ½ cup flour
- 2 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 medium onion peeled and sliced
- ½ cup butter or olive oil
Instructions
- To begin preparing the heart, cut it into quarters lengthwise. This will expose all of the internal arteries.
- Using a small, sharp knife, carefully trim the fat and thin membrane off the outside of the heart.
- Flip the heart over so you can see the inside. Carefully cut the arteries, veins and membrane off to completely expose the muscle.
- Slice the muscle into ½-inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
- Coat each piece of heart in flour mixture and place them in a greased skillet over low-medum heat.
- Add onions and cook covered for 15 minutes or until meat is heated to an internal temperature of 145ºF. Be sure to stir often. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Use a sharp knife when processing the heart to avoid removing excess amounts of meat.
- Don't overcook the meat. If you cook it too long, it will get tough.
- Stir frequently while cooking to avoid burning or overcooking your meat.
