Notes
- Do not overcook burgers! No greater than 130-135°F.
- Grind venison with 1/2" hole disc and run the meat through twice. A coarser grind is preferable. Grind steak with 3/8" disc.
- Let burgers rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Source steak trimmings at your local butcher. They are cheap.
- Your butcher will grind the meat for you, if you don't have a grinder.
- Grating the onion and garlic into the meat bowl increases the juiciness of the burger.
