CHICKEN FRIED VENISON STEAKS
I was looking for something different to do with my man's fresh kill, so I just whipped this up from stuff I had in the cupboard. My husband and children loved it. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy (I used brown gravy, but country gravy may be used for a milder taste).

Steps:
- Split heart in half.
- Remove all vents and ducts.
- Mix onion, mustard, pickling spice, salt, wine vinegar, and wine in large glass bowl.
- Soak heart in marinade overnight.
- Dredge pieces in flour and fry in butter over high heat.
- When both sides are browned reduce heat and continue to cook 5 to 10 minutes longer.
Tips:
- To tenderize venison, soak it in a marinade for at least 2 hours before cooking. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make the meat more flavorful.
- When frying venison, use a high-heat cooking oil such as vegetable oil or canola oil. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying venison. This will cause the meat to steam rather than fry, resulting in a soggy and less flavorful dish.
- Cook venison to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the venison rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Fried venison is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
