Instructions

1. Place your bison meat on parchment paper or in a mixing bowl, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
2. Because bison meat is very lean (90/10 fat ratio), it’s best to add an egg to the ground meat to act as a binder.
3. Gently form your burger patties, aiming for about ¼ pound each because the meat will slightly shrink as it’s grilled.



4. Add olive oil to a cast iron skillet and swirl it around to coat the entire cooking surface.
5. Place your skillet on the grill grates over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke, then put the bison patties in the skillet.
6. Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the desired temperature is reached. We recommend medium-rare (145 degrees Fahrenheit) or medium (160 degrees).



7. While the patties rest, toast the buns for about a minute per side either in the hot skillet or directly on the grill grates. Optional: adding a layer of mayo to the inside of the bun.
8. Plate the cooked bison burgers on the toasted buns and serve with our homemade BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and whatever else your hungry stomach desires. Enjoy!
