Curious as to what wild game venison or elk heart tastes like, or perhaps you’re a seasoned vet on heart recipes? Either way, I’m sure this venison heart bruschetta recipe and venison heart ceviche recipe will be a new wild taste to tease your tastebuds. It involves “cooking” the venison heart in lime juice similar to what you would do with shrimp in ceviche.
In season 9/episode 2 of MeatEater titled “South Texas Nilgai” Chef Jeff Griffiths takes the heart of the Nilgai and makes a ceviche out of it that looked simply divine. I’ll agree with Steve Rinella on this one, that I would have never in a million years thought to eat the heart raw, but I have eaten raw steaks plenty of times, like with this elk carpaccio recipe.

I usually slice and dice the heart into steaks to be served alongside a salad, but the thought of something completely new was right up my alley.
We recently got three does down in second season and had three hearts that I could use to test different recipes. My husband wanted a traditional ceviche recipe to be served with tortilla chips, but I was making a French onion soup for dinner the night we tested the recipes so I wanted an Italian flavor that was more like bruschetta. I made both recipes.

We were pleasantly surprised that BOTH raw heart venison recipes were delicious. They had the flavors you’d expect from bruschetta and ceviche, but with a hint of meatiness. And because the recipes included a healthy protein in them that could easily be eaten as an appetizer or a main course.
We had plenty of leftovers that we stored in the refrigerator and munched on over the next couple of days, which made for great, easy-to-pack lunches, but the venison heart did start to take on more and more of the lime flavor.
Perhaps, you’re not a fan of eating raw red meat. That’s okay, there are plenty of cooked red meat recipes available to play with. Start with cooked meats, and hopefully learn about raw meats later on.
My first time eating raw red meat was with beef carpaccio at a buddy’s restaurant. I was apprehensive at first because I had no idea what the safety concerns were behind eating red meat raw. However, I trusted my friend and was in tastebud heaven after just one bite. Of course, this first adventure in raw red meat tasting piqued my curiosity and sent me down the path to learn more about raw meat recipes.
