Spicy Bison Burger Recipe
Do you want to enhance your burger game? Savor the robust tastes of Jerk Bison Burgers! Tender and bursting with spicy peppers and fragrant spices, these burgers are sure to please your palate.
Ingredients You’ll Need for All Bison Burger Recipes
Add a mixture of spices, such as dried thyme, nutmeg, coconut sugar, allspice, and cinnamon, to a large mixing bowl and stir in lean ground bison. Fresh green onions and ginger provide a counterbalance to the heat from diced habanero or scotch bonnet pepper. The seasoning is completed with sea salt and pepper, and a hint of low-sodium soy sauce for depth of flavor.
Easy Steps to Prepare Best Bison Burger
Make sure each burger is the same size for even cooking by shaping the seasoned meat into precisely portioned patties. If accuracy is your goal, divide the mixture into equal pieces using a food scale.
In order to avoid sticking, coat a nonstick or cast-iron pan with avocado or olive oil spray before heating it over medium-high heat. When the pan gets up to heat, grill the burgers for three to four minutes on each side, or until they are wonderfully browned and done to your liking.
Here is the exciting part: creating your own burger! Arrange your Jerk Bison Patties with your preferred toppings between soft hamburger buns. Juicy tomato slices, crisp lettuce, sharp onions, and rich olive oil mayonnaise all wonderfully balance the burger’s strong taste.
Enjoy Your Jerk Bison Burger!
Not only are these Jerk Bison Burgers tasty, but they are also quite adaptable. They are ideal for meal prep since they keep well in the refrigerator for four to six days when kept in an airtight container, so you can eat them whenever you feel like it. Plus, for a delightful low-carb option, just replace the buns with fresh lettuce leaves if you are watching your carb consumption.
These Jerk Bison Burgers will satisfy your cravings for a tasty weekday dinner or if you are hosting a summer BBQ. Now light up the pan or grill and treat yourself to a hamburger experience that you will never forget!
Best Bison Burger Recipe
Ingredients
Substitution
Note
- 1.5 lb lean ground bison (or choice of meat)
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 stalks green onion, chopped
-
1 habanero or scotch bonnet, chopped
If you do not want it too spicy, remove the seeds
-
1.5 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons ginger powder
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 5 wheat hamburger buns (or choice of bread)
- tomato
- onion
- lettuce
- olive oil mayonnaise
Steps
Step 1
Add all the ingredients for the meat into a large mixing bowl and mix together using your hands or a spatula.
Note: I highly suggest using gloves since you are handling very hot peppers. If not, do not touch anything after mixing and immediately wash your hands with soap & water.
Step 2
Form 5 uniform patties.
Note: If you want to exact use a food scale simply place an empty bowl on a food scale and “zero it out” or press the Tare function.
Then add the seasoned raw meat. Once you get the weight in grams or pounds, divide that by 5 (or number of servings you prefer) to get the weight for each patty.
Take a portion of the meat and place it on the food scale by itself and add/takeaway meat until you reach the calculated weight for each patty.
Step 3
Set a nonstick or cast-iron pan on medium-high heat, and once hot, spray with avocado or olive oil.
Note: if you are using cast-iron, place it on medium heat and monitor it for sticking. If it is sticking either 2 things are happening:
1) the heat is too high and you need to take the pan off the heat to let it cool; or
2) you are not allowing the meat to cook through as it will easily lift off the cast iron once it is finished.
Step 4
Cook each patty for about 3 – 4 minutes on each side, or until you reach your preferred doneness.
Step 5
Build the burger with your choice of garnish and hamburger buns!
These are also GREAT for meal prep as the burgers will last for 4 – 6 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Just keep everything separate until you would like to enjoy!
Eating low-carb at the moment?
Easy! Just swap the buns for fresh green lettuce for an ultimate spicy lettuce-wrapped burger. Or, crumble the burger over a salad and enjoy with your favorite dressing!
