Elk Burger Ingredients

Method

Elk Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sun-Dried Tomato Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together the sun-dried tomatoes and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Form the Elk Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground elk meat, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently and form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat 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. 4

    Add the Brie Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of brie cheese on each patty and cover until melted.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread the sun-dried tomato mayo on the pretzel buns. Top with cooked elk patties, and add arugula if desired. Close the buns and serve immediately.
