Method

Bison Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Bison

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Bison Patties

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the bison patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  2. 4

    Grill the Pineapple

    While the burgers are grilling, place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and they are slightly caramelized.

  3. 5

    Fry the Jalapeños

    In a small bowl, prepare the tempura batter according to the package instructions. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip the whole jalapeños into the batter and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill. On the bottom half of each bun, spread BC sauce to taste. Place the grilled bison patty with melted cheddar on top, followed by a grilled pineapple slice and tempura fried jalapeños. Top with the other half of the brioche bun.
