Dr Nicks Bison Pork Burgers Recipes

BISON BURGER WITH GARLIC MAYO AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• To make the burgers:
• In a large bowl mix the bison, beef sirloin, onions, garlic, and parsley until just combined. Add in the onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, ketchup, Worcestershire, and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. Add it all to the meat mixture and mix well to combine. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and cook a small portion of the meat. Taste the cooked beef to see if you need to add salt. Add salt to the meat mixture to taste. Divide the meat into 4 evenly portioned round patties and set aside.
• To make the onions:
• Heat the bacon fat over medium-high heat in a large saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 1 minute, then season with salt. Cook the onions, stirring a lot, until they start to turn brown. If the onions start sticking to the pan and turning too dark, pour in a spoonful of water and scrape with a wooden spoon to pull them off the pan. Continue to cook and stir the onions until they're dark brown and caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• To make the mayonnaise:
• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper, to taste and mix well.
• To serve:
• Reheat the large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Heat the olive oil then place the burger patties in the pan. Cook for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Top the burgers with a slice of cheese. To assemble, spread some garlic mayo on the bottom of the toasted bun. Put the burger on the mayo, top with caramelized onions, and then arugula. Cover with a bun top. Stick a toothpick into a cornichon and then stick into the top of the burger and serve.

BEEF 'N' PORK BURGERS

Shape into eight 3/4-in.-thick patties., Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°. Serve on buns with mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato.

DR NICK'S BISON & PORK BURGERS

Steps:

• Wash your hands!
• Finely chop the red onion and add to bison and pork in a large mixing bowl (the bigger the better). Mix together briefly by hand.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix throughly by hand until mixture is homogenous. No egg necessary.
• Form mixture into 10 equal balls. Place each ball individually onto plastic cling wrap and form into patties (nice and thick). Wrap patty in cling wrap and freeze for later use, or cook immediately on the barbeque.
• Serve with whatever burger condiments you desire.

BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If you're not using an outdoor grill, preheat a second grill pan over medium heat (for a side griddle).
• Gently mix together the brisket, short rib and sirloin in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into 4 equal pieces and gently form into burgers, being careful not to pack too tightly.
• Season both sides of the burgers with a good amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• When the grill or first grill pan is at medium-high, place the burgers on the grill and cook to your desired temperature, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Add a piece of cheese to each burger and cook for another minute or so until it is melted.
• In the meantime, spread the mayo on the cut side of the buns and place them over medium heat or on the secondary grill pan to toast.
• Build the burgers by placing a burger on each bottom bun and top with 2 pieces of bacon, some red onion, pickles and mustard.

PORTOBELLO BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine bison, cumin, oregano, thyme, and chipotle in a bowl. Add mushrooms, Cheddar cheese, and onion; mix until well distributed. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly into 4 sections and shape into patties.
• Place patties on grill and reduce heat slightly. Grill until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over and grill until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve on toasted whole wheat buns.

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!
