How to cook Deer Liver | S1E01 | Primal Plate

[@blackknight9156]

I have 25 pounds of liver that I am turning into smoked snack sticks to munch on while I am hunting. People certainly need to make better use of the animal's resources as you gentlemen did.

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

That sounds interesting! You may have to send us that recipe and we may feature it on an episode if you would like (we would give you credit for recipe). And we 100% agree with you. If you are going to take somethings life why not get the most out of your harvest as you can!

[@zackb6045]

What other parts do you eat? I eat heart & liver

[@blackknight9156]

@@zackb6045 I eat the heart, liver, and kidneys. I would eat lungs as well, but they usually aren't intact after most shots I make.

[@robroman1773]

Anything acidic will work to tenderize the liver and assist in bleeding the deer out. The bacon grease is the perfect touch. I’m a Costco shopper and use Montreal steak seasoning on just about everything and deer liver is no different. This is a great video gentlemen!!! Top notch recipe

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

Thank you for this recipe I have liver in the past many times but never game animal yesterday we shot our first mule Doe soaked overnight in lemon today will go on the frying pan

Love the name "Primal Plate" - and prefer these videos to strictly hunting. Catch, clean, cook vids are the BEST!

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

I love liver and onions. I like it with heart also

[@ryanglass3570]

It was tradition to have heart, liver and onions with salt and pepper the day after soaking in salt water. It was always so funny watching people try it the first time, they tasted it then loaded up their plate.🤤

[@ericlarson9386]

My family has been leaving so much good stuff in a pile under a decoration in a tree. The liver, kidneys and heart are all great.

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

Couldn’t agree more with ya! Definitely worth taking out of the field with ya after a hunt! Why not get the most out of your kill to feed you and your family

[@latishajaubert5600]

Did this today ,it turned our fabulous. Thanks for he tip.

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

Glad you liked it! 😁

[@ruegrey9811]

Y’all should do a video showing how to cook deer heart! Most under appreciated part of a deer in my opinion. Tastes fantastic if done the right way!

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

Interesting enough that you mentioned that! Heart is actually our next episode! Make sure you subscribe because it will be coming out soon! 😁

[@ruegrey9811]

Heart. Best part of deer!!!!

[@uchiha_shisui682]

Soooo gooood I love grossing out the homies at camp taking a raw slice 😂

[@ryanglass3570]

You do it the same way cook it with the liver, it really is fantastic. It's a little tougher than the liver, it's something you should put in your bucket list.

[@wwsuwannee7993]

If you cant eat it all, whizz it up in a good blender, onions and all...maybe a little wine, stick it in a container and eat it on saltines. Fantastic :)

[@uchiha_shisui682]

Genius

1.) suggest white onion or yellow onion over red onion, red onion isn't a very good 'cooking' onion, they make better raw onion additions such as in salsa's, sandwiches, salads, guacamole mixes, dips, etc 2.) buttermilk is great for older deer, helps remove that taste, you can also use unflavored yogurt for the same effect, yogurt imo does a better job though. You can also add a few seasonings to this mix, I prefer adding some cumin and turmeric. If you do use buttermilk or yogurt I suggest doing a 2-3 hour brine in salt water or lemon water before rinsing off and patting dry then switching it the yogurt/buttermilk this allows for the blood to be fully leached out before going in and allows for deeper penetration as it sits in the dairy overnight. As a plus if you use yogurt (my preferred) you can turn it into a nice sauce by simmering it on the stove separately and adding seasoning to it and use it like a gravy. cant figure out what to do with the buttermilk other than throw it out afterward. 3.) to help beat that gaminess when cooking use fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage in addition to the other seasonings you like when frying.

[@uchiha_shisui682]

100% agree on the onion, thank you for the yogurt pan sauce idea I really appreciate that!!

[@uchiha_shisui682]

This recipe is absolutely stellar with ramps (onion type , wild along mountain streams, ifykyk)

[@SuperDenise128]

Pork liver is sweet too.

[@KarlBAndersen]

With a big ol' gnarly buck liver, slice thin and dehydrate. Think "dog snacks'!!

[@justinpowell1112]

I always toss it in seasoned flour

[@harryfarmer3847]

Harvested two deer livers just yesterday. Can't wait to make this tonight.

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

Glad to hear it! Let us know how it turns out!

I always take the liver an heart from my deer,,,,u should try the heart,,,it's absolutely delicious 😋

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

We actually have a video with deer heart. We love both the heart and liver

[@serafinservin373]

Trying that today with a young buck brother

[@graefx]

Growing up, deer was a pest. Family friends would hunt on our farm so we always got invited to the hunter parties. It's funny the things you end up missing. Defeats the purpose but wish I could get game meat at the store. I eat pork liver semi regularly. With mushrooms and onions, or in an omelet, but never had deer. Americans should eat more offal or off cuts. Liver, heart, tongue are some of the best eating on an animal. Using liver for catfish bait is funny, I knew a guy that said he used shrimp lol.

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

Couldn’t agree more with you! Our thought is if your going to take somethings life why not get the most out of it and not waste perfectly edible parts of the animal

[@graefx]

Well said

Drunk and crackers patte 😎

[@josephorozco8521]

Great video. Is it possible to buy deer Liver and have it shipped to California? Thanks

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

I’m not entirely sure on that one unfortunately

[@johnstruewing1164]

The answer is only if it is farm raised. Wild game cannot be bought or sold. Best bet, just find a hunter in California and see if you can get them to save you a liver. Most hunters don’t save them. Maybe offer to help them pay for their deer processing

[@csguerdet]

I do a 1 pound liver to 10 pounds in my grind. I’ll also eat a small chunk raw Warfield dressing just a creep people out probably why I’m alone.

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

Interesting!

[@nicolefitch6503]

I just got some deer liver I never did any of this it is a big parte as smooth as it can be I just take as is put in frying pan and the trick is to not over cook, little pink and you are done

[@gianmuus940]

I also eat this with oven baked patatoes and apples

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

That sounds delicious!

[@jh-jy6ib]

can you use bear fat instead of bacon grease??

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

If it is rendered down I believe you can. We have not tried it. Let us know how it turns out!

[@dreamingwhilefat4888]

you have to cook the liver on a lower temp for a longer time

[@henrybittle5234]

Guys, make sure you get the membrain off b4 you cook it, big difference

[@johnstruewing1164]

I’ve never saved a deer liver, but I really like beef liver. I watched Dr James Kroll talking on deer liver in a video. When he started cutting a liver, he kept coming across liver flukes. After seeing all of those flukes I was surprised and truly turned off. I’ve had no interest in eating deer liver from then on. You can all eat as much deer liver as you want, I’ll pass.

[@Midwestoutdoorchasers]

We completely understand your point of view. When we notice something strange going on with the liver like flukes we usually don’t keep it. But I will say we enjoy beef liver but deer is by far not as strong of a flavor like beef.

[@danhayward9186]

Bacon grease or lard try not to use plant oil Liver hart and kidney should be well trimed I keep all trimmings from the carcase plus the lungs to grond for pet mince

That's all you guys take away from each big game harvest? Wasteful!! Y'all missing out. Nothing goes to waste in my book. Respect what nature provided. No wasting.😅

We harvest everything edible (even the bones for bone broth). I wouldn’t call that wasting.
