Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds lean ground sirloin
1/3 pound smoked Gouda cheese, diced into 1/4 to 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion or 1/2 large onion
2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika, 2/3 palm full
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palm full
Grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
Generous handful finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 (12-ounce) bottle beer
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
1/4 to 1/3 cup sour cream
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
4 crusty Kaiser rolls, split and lightly toasted
Green or red leaf lettuce, for topping
Sliced sweet bread and butter pickles, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
  • Place the meat in a bowl and add the cheese. Peel the onion and halve it, if using the medium onion. Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping. Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer then form 4 large patties making them a little thinner at the center than at edges. Burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
  • Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
  • Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground bison: Look for bison that is grass-fed and finished, as this will result in a more flavorful burger.
  • Season the bison well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of seasonings, as this will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the burgers over a hot fire: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burger while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcook the burgers: Bison burgers are best when cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy burger.

Conclusion:

Smoky bison burgers are a delicious and unique way to enjoy bison. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your burgers simple or loaded with toppings, these burgers are sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give these smoky bison burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
