    Deer Liver…

    So who here eats deer liver? And better yet, how do you cook it where it’s actually edible? Because I must be doing something REALLY WRONG!

    Earlier this year I shot a spike during the last week of deer season in south Texas. Even though it was a yearling spike, he still smelled really rutty.

    I kept the heart and liver and vacuum sealed him when I got home. Decided to try it the other day, so I thawed it, cut some off and cut it into cubes and sorta sautéed it with butter.

    I know some folks hate liver, but this tasted like I was trying to eat a tarsal gland. If you know that rutty buck smell… this was that, in flavor form.

    How the heck do people cook deer liver and actually enjoy it? Just does?

      The way I do it is to cut it into 3/8 inch strips and peel the membrane off the outside of it.

      Then I soak it in the fridge overnight in salt water.

      Slice one large white or yellow onion, sautee it in bacon grease or butter until almost done. Remove onion from pan.

      Then salt and pepper the liver strips, sautee them on one side. Flip over and add onion back on top. Keep cooking liver until done.

      I've been doing it this way for many years. A buddy of mine showed me how to cook it this way. I am sad at all the deer livers I chunked back in the day.

          Build a fire at the kill site, put the liver on a stick and roast it until the outside is crispy and the inside is still bloody. YUMMY!

            If you like chicken gizzards, bet you will like deer heart. Cook it the same way.

                  I just had some friday night and I did it the same way. Possibly the deer might have been diseased?

                    Liver is one of those things that is very dependent on condition of the deer and the time of season you kill it.

                    Peel the membrane off, cut against the grain into cubes, trim out large vessels, soak in bowl of milk for a few hours.

                    Cast iron skillet brown some onions and garlic, add liver and cook til pink on the inside. Pour white wine and heavy whipping cream. Add thyme, paprika, salt and pepper. Serve over mash potatoes or something similar.

                    Another really good way to eat it is cooked in some sort of marinara sauce with olives, mushrooms, green onion. Served with parsley, feta cheese, and avocado on top.

                        And then the bone marrow and 30g of protein shake. Then go walk 2 miles with 200lbs of weights on
