Hambúrgueres suculentos de bisão

Ingredientes

• 2 pounds ground bison
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 of your favorite squishy (soft hamburger buns)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• Sliced tomato
• Bibb or green leaf lettuce
• Dill pickles
• Caramelized onions
• Ketchup
• Mayonnaise
• Burger sauce

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Combine the ground bison with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Gently combine with your hands.

2. 2

   Form into equal sized patties that are slightly (about 1”) larger than the buns you plan to use and make a small indent with your thumb in the middle of the patty — this helps the meat not balloon in the center as it cooks.

3. 3

   --- Grill Option ---

4. 4

   Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to a high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and hot then place the burger patties directly over the heat and grill for about 3 minutes before flipping over and grilling the other side. Don’t flip the patties prematurely, they should easily release from the grill grates when they’re ready to be flipped.

5. 5

   Top with cheese if using during the last minute of cooking and cover the grill so it melts nicely. Remove the burgers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before assembling them on a bun with your desired toppings.

7. 7

   Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the bison burgers in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes without touching them before flipping and cooking for the same amount of time on the other side or until they are medium-rare to medium.

8. 8

   If using cheese, add it on top of the burgers in the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet with a lid to allow it to melt. Follow the same resting period as the grill before assembling.
