Beefalo Burgers

Dinner tonight was some very tasty beefalo burgers. Beefalo (no, that’s not a typo) is a cross-breed between domestic cattle and the North American Bison. It’s significantly lower in fat and somewhat higher in protein and nutrients than beef. I grilled these up in a grill pan on the stove and served the patties on ciabatta bread with romaine and sauteed mushrooms. Very good 🙂

Beefalo Burgers
Serves 2, generously

1 lb ground beefalo
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix the beefalo with the spices and Worcestershire sauce until just combined. Form into four patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Heat a grill pan over medium high heat. Add the patties and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Serve with condiments and veggies as desired.
