Game Burger

Method

Game Burger

  1. 1

    Prepare burger mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground venison with ground pork fat, finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Chill and portion

    Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Chill on a plate for 15 minutes to help them hold shape.

  3. 3

    Preheat cooking surface

    Preheat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat and brush with a little oil.

  4. 4

    Cook burgers

    Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, or until an internal temperature of 160F (71C) is reached. If using cheese, add a slice on top during the last minute and cover to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast buns

    Lightly butter or brush the buns and toast cut side down on the griddle until golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble burgers

    Spread condiments on the buns if desired, place the cheese-topped patty on the bottom bun, add any toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles), and cap with the top bun.

Angler Fries

  1. 7

    Prepare potatoes

    Wash and cut russet potatoes into fries. Rinse to remove excess starch and pat dry with a towel.

  2. 8

    Par-fry or bake fries

    For crisper fries, par-fry in hot oil at 160°C (320°F) for 4-5 minutes until pale but not colored; drain and let rest on paper towels.

  3. 9

    Prepare fish batter

    Whisk together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in beer or sparkling water until a smooth, thick batter forms.

  4. 10

    Dip and fry fish

    Heat oil to about 180°C (350°F). Dip angler fish fillets in batter, then fry 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 11

    Finish fries and sauce

    Increase oven or fryer temperature back to crisp fries if needed. Season fries with salt while hot. Mix tartar sauce with lemon juice and dill (if using) for dipping.

  6. 12

    Plate and serve

    Pile fries on plates or baskets, top with a crispy angler fish fillet if desired, or serve alongside the burgers. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
