Bison Burger

These juicy bison burgers are packed with flavor and high in protein, making for a satisfying American lunch. Topped with fresh ingredients and served on a toasted bun, they are a delightful twist on the classic burger.

Ingredients

• Bison ground meat - 400 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Worcestershire sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Burger buns - 2 pieces
• Lettuce leaves - 2 pieces
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/4 medium, sliced
• Cheddar cheese - 2 slices (optional)
• Mustard - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the bison ground meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bison patties to the skillet.
4. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
5. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in another skillet or on a grill until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the bison patty, tomato slices, and red onion. Add mustard if desired.
7. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
