food Burgers? Hell Yeah!!

Elk is a little less gamey than deer but more gamey than beef. Personally, I prefer moose, but elk is a close second. My only criticism of myself, is that I cooked them a tad too long. Elk is very lean compared to beef. Overall, they turned out good. I haven't had shrooms and swiss for a while. The mustard is a habanero, honey mustard and it is perfect with them.
 
Did you melt the cheese in the broiler and not on the grill? Or is that just a resting plate? Because if so that would add cooking time, hence, drying them out.
 
Yes I popped them in oven for just long enough to melt the cheese after I added the mushrooms. I am sure it didn't help, but I still cooked them a bit long on the grill. The problem with cooking while practicing spelling words with a first grader, and holding a crying baby is time management. I'm not saying they are dried out, just not quite as juicy as I would have liked.
 
You can't fool me. Hand formed... sheesh.
Rolling them in a ball then pressing another pan down on them is a pretty good idea!
Just teasing you Jay, those look awesome.
They do look a little overdone, but that's just an excuse for more mayo/ mustard foo

I love me some Elk.
 
Next time just close the grill lid with cheese on the grilled side right after you flip. Only takes seconds with a hot grill.

Lookin' good. Post more.
 
I had to take them in to put the mushrooms on them (that were sauteed in a pan (stainless) on the stove). It was a catch 22. And yes Scovie, I did do the ball and smash technique. Ha ha that sounds funny. :lol:

Shit I think I just reported myself.

you need to put shrooms on everything!
 
Good looking burgers JayT, where do you deer hunt in PA? I am trying to find something closer than traveling to the family farm in Va, however, it is rarely hunted and I have been able to kill deer each time I go if I choose to. Passed up 7 doe at 15 yards last trip, freezer is slam full of 2.5 deer.
 
You hunters are a crazy lot.
Couldn't do it, myself, but that's just me. I guess I'm a pussy.
More power to ya, though. No judgement.
I like that you harvest the meat and you help control the population, which I understand can be quite pesty in some areas.

I stick to store-bought cow that has been probably inhumanely treated since birth. Go figure...
 
Fire up the wood oven and bake them. :D

Firewood is getting delivered tomorrow. Gonna try making some Potato Rolls next week. No idea what the should taste like, as never had em before, but they seem to be all the rage, plenty of recipes/ideas on the net.
 
I like brioche buns. TB says they are foo foo but that's just because it's a French word. The eggy butteriness is tha bomb! And soft as all hell, perfect for burgers.
