Burger night doesn't have to be a cheat day. Lean grass-fed bison is rich in protein and iron, and you can wrap it in big butter lettuce leaves, instead of a bun.
Note: The burger patties may arrive frozen. If you need to defrost them, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Or for same-day use, place the sealed package in a bowl in the sink, fill with cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 1 hour.
What You Get
3 grass-fed burger patties (see note)
Red onion
Avocado
Tomato
Butter or green leaf lettuce
What You'll Need
Salt
Olive oil
Step 1
Season the patties on both sides with salt. In a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the pan is searing hot, add the patties and cook until browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until done to your liking, 2 minutes longer for medium. Transfer the patties to a plate and set aside and keep warm.
Step 2
Thinly slice the red onion crosswise into big rounds. (If you like, you can brush the onion rounds with oil, and sear until marked on both sides, about 5 minutes.) Pit, peel, and slice the avocado. Slice the tomato. Tear off 4 of the largest lettuce leaves and rinse and pat dry.
Step 3
To build the burgers, place the lettuce leaves on plates and top with the patties, red onion, tomato, and avocado. Serve warm, with any of your favorite fixings.
