Title: SV Elk Burgers
Post by: zueth on March 12, 2018, 01:03:18 PM
In the past I have always cooked my Elk Burgers on the grill, but decided I would try them in SV.  I made patties with the ground elk and weighed each one, so that I knew they all were the same weight. ( 7 ounces)  I seasoned them with Weber Steak and Chop Seasoning.  Then I vaccum packed them but stop the vacuum packer just after the package got tight to burger so it didn't suck out juices or flatten burger.  I cooked it in the SV for 1 hour @130 and then took it out of SV and placed on paper towels to rest for ten minutes and patted dry burger.  Then I finished on the SRG for 1 minute, then flipped and added 2 slices of gruyere cheese to each patty and continued to cook for another minute.  Also toasted the buns at the same time.  I made an aioli that I spread over both buns then topped bottom bun with the burger than on top of that some arugula.  These turned out amazing, I am going to have a hard time not using the SV next time I have elk burgers.

I just recently bought a Joule sous vide and have used it 3 times so far with burgers.  Honestly, I don't think I'll ever cook a burger without using sous vide.  The burgers are always done perfectly from edge to edge, and they are super juicy.

That looks amazing! SV is probably the way to go on Elk, Buffalo, venison, etc burgers as they can dry out and overcook real quick on the grill.
