Cooking and Serving the Elk Burgers

  1. First, take the Elk burger patties out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Bringing the patties to room temperature will help them cook more evenly.
  2. Next, preheat a Nonstick All-Clad Skillet, indoor grill, or outdoor grill until hot.
  3. Then, carefully place the Elk patties into the hot skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes on the first side.
  4. Next, using a spatula, flip the Elk burger patties over to the second side and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  5. Then, remove the burger patties and place them on a paper-towel-lined plate. This will allow any excess fat to drip off.
  6. Finally, place the burger patties between Sourdough Hamburger Buns or on top of roasted Portabella Caps. Enjoy hot or at room temperature.
