Bison Burgers

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb ground bison
• 1 tablespoon steak seasoning

  (my recipe, or your favorite brand -*see note)
• 3 slices cheddar cheese

  (optional)
• 3 hamburger buns

  (toasted)
• ketchup

  (optional to taste)

Instructions

• 1 Divide the ground bison into 3 even-sized portions just over 5 ounces each (5.33
  ounces if you want to be precise). Form each portion into a ball, then press
  gently on top to form a patty about 1" thick.
• 2 Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan (or grill pan, or
  grill) over medium heat. Season patties generously on both sides with steak
  seasoning (*see note).
• 3 Once your skillet or frying pan is hot, add your patties and sear for about 5
  minutes on the first side (until golden-brown).
• 4 Flip your burgers and sear the opposite side until the burger's internal
  temperature reaches 135˚ (57°C) for medium-rare, about 3-4 minutes. If adding
  cheese, place it on your patties during the last minute of cooking. Cover the
  skillet to melt the cheese quickly.
• 5 Transfer your burgers to a plate or cutting board and loosely tent foil over the
  top. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving on toasted hamburgers with
  ketchup or your favorite burger toppings.
