Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground bison
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt if using iodized salt use 1 1/2 teaspoons
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil optional
Instructions
- Have your choice of grill (charcoal, gas, indoor) preheated to medium before preparing your burgers.
- Bring your bison out of the fridge about 10 to 15 minutes before shaping patties so the meat can warm slightly.
- Add the bison to a bowl and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
- Using your hands, gently mix the seasonings in but do not over mix or mash the meat. Alternately, you can form patties and sprinkle each one with salt and pepper.
- Form 6, 1/3 pound patties aobut 1 inch thick. If you'd like smaller burgers, you can do so, just know they will cook faster. If you'd like to brush them with a bit of olive oil on both sides before griling, do that now.
- Grill on one side 4 minutes, turning once while cooking. Don't mash the patties or flip them a lot. Cook 4 minutes on the second side or until the patties reach about 150 degrees internally.
- Allow the meat to rest, covered lightly with foil or a bowl for 10 minutes before serving.
