I have been aging my deer meat for the last few years and I do believe that the meat benefits from it. I usually do at least a week or two in a dedicated fridge (for all steak cuts), but have went quite a bit longer than that. It got me thinking and wanting to see if anyone ages the heart also, or just eats it fresh? (I assume most don't eat it at all.)
I am honestly not crazy about eating the heart. To me it is decent, not my favorite cut by far. I have tried it a few different ways but we usually end up bacon wrapping it. I try to not waste any meat, which is really the only reason I eat it at all, plus my son loves it. I don't think it taste bad, it just isn't my favorite.
My question isn't as much on how everyone cooks it or if you even eat it. I am just curious if anyone let's it age any before they do whatever they are going to do with it. We typically cook it pretty fresh, with a day or two tops, buy I don't see where letting it age a little could hurt..
