Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Ground Buffalo Meat
  • 1 small Red Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper
  • 4 pieces Burger Buns
  • Toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, avocado)
  • Condiments (e.g., mustard, ketchup, spicy aioli)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground buffalo meat, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  2. Form the mixture into patties of your desired thickness, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the buffalo burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  5. Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Serve on toasted burger buns with your favorite toppings and condiments.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add a tablespoon of sriracha or diced jalapeños to the mixture.
  • Mix in fresh chopped herbs like basil or cilantro for added freshness.
  • Add finely chopped mushrooms or grated zucchini for increased moisture and nutritional value.
  • Fold in shredded cheese like cheddar or feta for a cheesy center.
  • For a southwestern flair, stir in taco seasoning and serve with avocado and salsa.
  • Incorporate a few drops of liquid smoke for a savory, smoky flavor.
  • Blend in ground nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch and health benefits.
  • Add a touch of maple syrup or honey for a unique sweet and savory balance.
  • Do not overmix the meat to maintain patty tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Buffalo meat cooks faster than beef; watch closely to prevent drying out.
  • Resting the patties after cooking helps juices redistribute for enhanced flavor and moisture.
  • Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze cooked patties for up to 1 month by wrapping individually and placing in a freezer-safe bag.
  • Reheat thawed patties in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave.
