Patty Ingredients
Toppings and Buns
Method
Preparing the Patty
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground elk meat, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil. Mix gently until just combined.
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Grilling the Burger
Preheat Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Grill the Patties
Place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
Add Cheese
In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare the Buns
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
