Bison Burger Basics

Ingredients

• 1 lb of Ground Bison

• 4 Burger Buns, split & toasted

• Preferred Seasoning. Some of our favorites include-

  • BBQ Rub- Hine’s Meat Co., Felton & Mary’s, Wallowa River Sand

  • Garlic- Fresh, Minced, Powdered or Granulated

• Montreal Steak Seasoning

• Season Salt (We are a Lawry's Family)

Directions

• Heat your cooking vessel-

  • Pan Frying- Medium, medium/high heat

  • Grilling- Medium hot coals/temperature

• As the ground is very lean, here are a couple tips to help the patties stick together better:

  • Knead burger for 1-2 minutes, you will see consistency slightly change. This helps the burger hold together better.

  • Press the ground FIRMLY together, a patty press is suggested

  • Mix an egg into the ground prior to pressing into patties. Eggs are a binding agent.

• Shape into 3-4, 1/2 inch thick patties and season. Seasoning can be added during the patty forming stage if preferred.

• Place patties in/on your pan or grill, turning once when juices appear on the topside of the patty.

• Cook until medium or medium rare depending on your personal preference.

• Place into each patty into a toasted bun, top with your favorite condiments/toppings and enjoy!
