I have a ton of ground venison from a deer and decided to try making burgers. Because venison is so lean and has such a distinct flavor I decided to add some beef fat. Not only does this ensure that the venison is not too lean, it also adds a bit of familiar beef flavor to the meat, making the venison easier to eat for those who haven't tried it before. I went to my local butcher and got 5lbs of fat for $0.99 - tossed it in the freezer for a day and then used it on a cheese grater when it was hard enough.
Begin with approximately 1lb ground venison, 1 cup of ground beef fat, 1 onion (if desired), and salt/pepper.
Work the beef fat into the venison.
Cut a complete 1/8" ring from the middle of the onion and chop. Add a 2nd ring if you like onion.
Work into beef and form into 3 patties.
Blast on the grill 550* at approximately 5minutes a side.
Add your favorite fixings and Enjoy!
Sorry for my long hiatus!
