How To Make bison burgers with bourbon onion jam

Step 1

To make the burgers, add the bison, panko, egg, mustard, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Mix (don’t overdo it) and evenly divide into 4 portions.

Step 2

Form 4 patties and place them on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 8.
Step 3

When ready to cook, remove the patties from the fridge and allow them to get to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Step 4

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the oil.
Step 5

Once hot, add onion slices, salt, and pepper; sauté for 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 8 minutes, stirring frequently making sure the onion slices are well coated.
Step 6

Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Step 7

Reduce to medium-low and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, uncovered, stirring often.
Step 8

Pour in bourbon, bring the heat to medium and cook about 10 minutes or until the liquid is almost evaporated, stirring every 2 minutes.
Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning and keep it warm until needed.
Step 10

Preheat grill to 450ºF and oil grates.
Step 11

Place patties, close the lid and grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 135ºF to 140ºF.
Step 12

About 3 minutes before they’re done, place hamburger buns, close the lid and grill them for 2 minutes.
Step 13

Top patties with a slice of cheese, close the lid and cook until the cheese is melted and the buns are nicely toasted.
Step 14

To assemble... Place lettuce on the bottom bun followed by the patty and then the bourbon onion jam on top before placing a tomato slice. Serve immediately…
