Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (907 g) ground venison
- 6 hamburger buns
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- 2 shallots, minced
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large egg, beaten to mix
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Flavor Foundation: Sauté shallots and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until translucent and aromatic, releasing their delicate essence and creating a robust base for the venison mixture.
- Meat Preparation: Thoroughly blend ground venison with caramelized shallots, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Integrate beaten egg to bind ingredients, then refrigerate mixture for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to harmonize and texture to firm.
- Patty Crafting: Portion chilled venison mixture into 6 equal patties, carefully shaping each to maintain uniform thickness and ensure consistent cooking. Aim for compact, 4-inch diameter discs that will hold together during cooking.
- Culinary Transformation: Choose cooking method – oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, air fryer at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or skillet pan-sear on medium heat until internal temperature reaches 160°F, guaranteeing perfect doneness and optimal flavor development.
- Serving Presentation: Rest cooked venison burgers for 3-4 minutes, allowing internal juices to redistribute. Plate on toasted artisan buns and complement with selected condiments and garnishes, creating a gourmet dining experience.
Notes
- Flavor Infusion Technique: Sautéing shallots and garlic before mixing creates a deeper, more complex taste profile for the venison meat.
- Chilling Meat Matters: Refrigerating the burger mixture for 15-20 minutes helps bind ingredients, improves texture, and allows flavors to develop more intensely.
- Temperature Precision: Always cook venison to 160°F to ensure food safety while maintaining meat’s delicate moisture and preventing dryness.
- Resting Rule: Letting burgers rest 3-4 minutes after cooking allows internal juices to redistribute, guaranteeing a more tender and succulent eating experience.
