Ingredients

• 1 pound ground buffalo meat
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomato
• 4 slices sliced red onion
• 0.5 cup Brooklyn Ketchup (see homemade recipe below)
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ground buffalo meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. When hot, place the patties in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.

Step 4

While the burgers cook, prepare the Brooklyn Ketchup. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, water, smoked paprika, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a buffalo patty. Top each patty with a generous spoonful of Brooklyn Ketchup, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, and the top half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Home on the Range Buffalo Burgers with a side of sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad.
