Instructions
Grill Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, around 400-450°F. Bison is leaner than beef, so it cooks faster. Keep the grill at medium to prevent overcooking.
- Prep the Bison Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground bison, salt, pepper, and optional add-ins. Gently form into patties. Bison is lean, so avoid overworking the meat, as it can become tough.Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while grilling.
- Lightly oil the grill grate help prevent the burgers from sticking on the grill
- Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill.Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip. Grill for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare to medium (internal temperature should be around 135-145°F). Be careful not to overcook, as bison can dry out quickly due to its low fat content. If you prefer them more well-done, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble and enjoy: Add your favorite toppings and serve on a bun or lettuce wrap. Enjoy!
