Directions for Elk Burger

1. 1

   Prepare the Caramelized Onion Aioli

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Slice the onion and add it to the skillet, cooking until caramelized (about 10-15 minutes). Once done, let it cool slightly and mix with mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar in a bowl.

   Form the Elk Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine ground elk meat with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

   Grill the Burgers

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the elk patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

   Toast the Buns

   During the last few minutes of grilling, place the buns cut side down on the grill to toast lightly.

   Spread the caramelized onion aioli on both sides of the toasted buns. Place the elk patty on the bottom bun, top with arugula and sliced tomato, then cover with the top bun.
