        'Just The Basics' Bison Burgers




A 'Just The Basics' Burger is only made from ground bison meat with some salt and pepper added. For best juiciness and flavour, fat content for the raw ground meat should be close to 20%. Much less and the burger will not hold together, much more and the burger will be too greasy.





Pictured is our double burger combination--almost a half pound of succulent bison burger.

Instead of making the 6 patties the recipe calls for, make 8 smaller patties. Shorten your total grill time by about 2 or 3 minutes. Nobody comes back for seconds after one of these!
       Ingredients
2 lbs
1 to 1 1/4 tsp
1/4 to 1/2 tsp
 

ground bison meat
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
vegetable oil

       Directions

  • Combine all ingredients.
  • Shape meat into 6 patties.
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.


  • Pre-heat barbecue to medium-high.
  • Just before cooking, brush the grill clean with a wire brush.
  • Then quickly grease the grill with a rag or paper towel soaked in some vegetable oil.


  • Except when the burgers are being flipped, the barbecue cover should be closed during cooking.
  • Grill burgers for 3 minutes on one side without disturbing.
  • Flip burgers over and cook the opposite side for another 3 minutes.
  • Continue cooking on the same side without flipping for another 6-7 minutes but reduce heat to medium/medium-low.
  • To finish, flip and cook the opposite side for a final 6-7 minutes for a burger that is between medium-well and well-done.
