Description

Juicy and flavorful venison burgers enhanced with balsamic vinegar and grated butter for an irresistible taste.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground venison
  • 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. freezing cold butter, grated
  • Burger buns (brioche is best)
  • Toppings: cheese (Pepper or Colby Jack), lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, etc.


Instructions

  1. Prepare the ground venison by mixing it with balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Grate in the cold butter, mixing quickly to avoid melting it.
  3. Shape the mixture into four evenly sized balls, then flatten them into patties.
  4. Make a small divot in the center of each patty to catch juices while cooking.
  5. Place the patties on the grill or in your hot pan, cooking for 5-8 minutes per side.
  6. Flip the burgers just once, adding cheese during the flip if desired.
  7. Aim for an internal temperature of 140-145°F for medium burgers, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the meat rest after mixing to prevent dryness during cooking. Adjust cooking times for different heat sources.
