Ingredients

1 lb ground bison sirloin

1/4 large yellow onion

1/4 cup steel cut oats

1 large egg

2 tbsp barbecue sauce

pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Dice the onion.
  2. In a large bowl combine the bison, diced onion, oats, egg, and barbecue sauce. Mix well.
  3. Preheat a frying pan or griddle to medium-high heat.
  4. Use clean hands to form the mixture into four patties.
  5. Place the patties in the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for approximately 6 minutes.
  6. Turn the patties over and re-cover. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
  7. Keep extras in the refrigerator although reheating is not recommended. Instead, consider freezing uncooked patties in individual sandwich bags and cooking on demand.

Note: These suggested cooking times should produce a patty that is done “medium.” This is the ideal preparation for bison as it is a bit more dry and lean than beef.
