VENISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Grind partially frozen venison meat and pork butt together using a meat grinder or food processor; transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Heat unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and 1 pinch salt in the melted butter until onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Gently mix ground venison-pork mixture, onion mixture, yogurt, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper together in a bowl until just combined. Form into 6 patties and arrange on a large plate. Cover plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Mix mayonnaise, steak sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and lime juice together in a bowl until smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Spread 1/2 teaspoon butter onto the inside of each split bun.
• Heat a non-stick pan over low heat; cook buns, buttered sides down, in the heated pan until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer buns to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat; cook burgers, sprinkling each side with a pinch of salt, in the hot skillet until your desired degree of doneness is reached, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Top each burger with a tomato slice and two slices pepper Jack cheese. Remove skillet from heat and cover pan until cheese is slightly melted, about 5 minutes. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of sauce onto the inside of each bun bottom. Add a cheese-tomato burger to each bun bottom; top each burger with bun top.

"GRILLED" VENISON BURGERS

Steps:

• In bowl, mix dry ingredients.
• Add venison and mix well.
• Add liquid ingredients and mix well with a fork, until bread crumbs are barely noticeable.
• On plastic wrap, form into 8 (4 ounce) patties, making them round and very flat-- like a fast-food burger.
• They can be cooked immediately, but I prefer to freeze them first.
• Place them on a large cookie sheet and freeze them several hours.
• Remove from freezer and place waxed paper between each burger as you stack them.
• I stack them in 2 1-quart freezer zip-lock bags.
• Preheat cast iron skillet to very hot.
• Cook frozen burgers until they are slightly charred on one side (about 3-4 minutes) and then turn and cook until the other side is slightly charred and burgers are medium-well.
• Do not overcook.
• Turn burner off and leave burgers in the pan while you put condiments on your hamburger bun.
• If cooking thawed burgers, cook about 2-3 minutes per side.
