Special thanks to our friends at Broil King.com for permission to use this Smoked Elk Burger recipe in our 2024 World of Barbecue series as we feature French-inspired recipes throughout August.
We know it looks & sounds crazy, but that purple aioli is a treat! It works so well with the smoked elk burger and combined with the melted Blue Cheese this is a knockout of a burger!
- Serves: 4 People
- Prep Time: 20 Minutes
- Grilling Time: 35 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE PATTIES:
- 1lbs Ground Elk
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 4 tbsp (divided into 4) Frozen Grated Butter.
FOR THE AIOLI:
- ½ cup Mayo
- 4 tbsp Blackberry Jam
- 1 tsp Grainy Mustard
- Fresh Pepper
GARNISH:
- Caramelized Onions
- Blue Cheese
- Brioche Bun
DIRECTIONS
Preheat your smoker or grill to 350°f (177°C) then drop the temp to 250°f (121°C).
Mix together your patty ingredients except for the butter. Portion into 4 balls. Make a crater with your finger in the middle of it and add 1 Tbsp of the butter. Close it up and flatten the ball out into a patty. Continue with the rest until all patties are formed. Place on the grill and close it up. These should take roughly 15 min depending on how thick they are. Internal temp of 145°f (63°C) to be safe with game meat.
While the burgers are on, mix up your Aioli in a bowl, and caramelize onions. It adds another depth of flavour to this bomb already.
When the Elk comes to temp, add your blue cheese to them and allow for 5 min to melt. Assemble the greatest burger you will ever have!
Enjoy!
