Bison Burgers With Spicy Aioli Recipes

BISON BURGERS WITH SPICY AIOLI

Steps:

• For the burgers: Heat the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Cook the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 5 minutes.
• Add the bison, tomato paste, cumin, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to the onion mixture, and stir to combine. Form into four 1-inch-thick burgers. Place the skillet back over high heat, add the burgers and cook until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest the burgers for 3 to 5 minutes.
• For the aioli: In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, tomato paste, yolk and garlic. While whisking continually, slowly drizzle in the canola and olive oils, until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and glossy. Whisk in the lemon juice and season with cayenne pepper and salt.
• Place each patty in a lettuce leaf, then top with tomato slices, shaved red onion and 2 teaspoons of the spicy aioli; wrap the burgers in the lettuce and serve with kale chips.
• Cook's Notes: If you have concerns about salmonella, replace the egg yolk and oils with canola mayonnaise.

CHIPOTLE BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon cumin and a big pinch of salt. Mash and stir until well combined; set aside.
• Combine the bison, chipotles, remaining 3/4 teaspoon cumin, the oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into 4 patties, about 4 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium, putting 1 cheese slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking.
• Serve the burgers on the buns with ketchup, the avocado mixture, shredded lettuce, sliced onion and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and the lime wedges.

BISON BURGER

Steps:

• Make three burger patties per pound of ground bison. Coat the burgers, on both sides with olive oil spray to help form a crust; this keeps the juices in the burger. Sprinkle patties with our special High Plains Bison seasoning blend.
• Using a griddle, preheat to 550° F before cooking. We suggest using a laser thermometer to test the temperature. Place the bison burgers on the griddle for 4 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Check the internal temperature using a food thermometer to make sure the burger is at 135-140° F degrees.
• Finally take the bison burgers off the grill and let them rest for several minutes before eating. Enjoy!
