Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground New Zealand red deer, divided into two 8-ounce portions and patted into bun-sized patties about 1/2-inch thick (see Cook’s Note)
  2. Salt and pepper
  3. 2 tablespoons mild blue cheese; we use Danish blue
  4. 2 kaiser buns
  5. Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, green leaf lettuce, sliced tomato and sliced red onion, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly. Sprinkle each patty with salt and pepper. Grill patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Don’t overcook.) Shoot for medium doneness; otherwise, the meat will get dry. Top each with a tablespoon of blue cheese. Toast the kaiser buns on the grill, tops and bottoms cut-side down. Turn over and let the other side toast. Spread Dijon mustard on bun bottoms, mayo on tops. Layer green leaf lettuce, tomato and onion on bun bottoms. Top with patties, then top buns. Enjoy.
