Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds Elk ground meat

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 tbs olive oil

1 medium Onion, sliced

1 tbs Butter

1 cup Beef stock

1/2 cup Red wine

1/4 cup Demi-glace

1/2 cup Bleu cheese, crumbled

3 pieces Burger buns

3 leaves Lettuce, for garnish

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Elk Patties

In a mixing bowl, combine the elk ground meat, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into 6 oz patties.

2

Caramelize the Onions

In a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

3

Cook the Elk Patties

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the elk patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

4

Prepare the Peppercorn Demi

In the same skillet used for the onions, add the red wine and beef stock. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the demi-glace and cook until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

5

Assemble the Burgers

Place the cooked elk patty on the bottom half of the burger bun. Top with caramelized onions, peppercorn demi, and bleu cheese crumbles. Add a lettuce leaf and place the top half of the bun on.
