Ingredients
450 g 450 ground bison
2 tablespoons 2 olive oil
1 teaspoon 1 salt
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 black pepper
1 teaspoon 1 garlic powder
1 teaspoon 1 onion powder
1 teaspoon 1 Worcestershire sauce
Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese
Buns of your choice
Equipment
large bowl- Grill or stovetop pan
- spatula
- spoon
Directions
- Prepare the Meat: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground bison with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently by hand until the ingredients are just combined.
- Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
- Preheat the Grill or Pan: If using a grill, preheat to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop pan, heat over medium-high heat and add a slight drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep them juicy.
- Assemble the Burger: Once cooked, let the patties rest for a minute or two. Serve on buns with your choice of toppings such as fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and cheese.
Notes
- Rest the Meat: Allowing the cooked patties to rest for a minute helps the juices redistribute, making your burger juicier.
