Bison | Food Embrace

It’s mid August and this is the first burger I’ve had this summer. And it wasn’t even grilled because the day we had them, it was pouring rain.

This is unacceptable and I aim to change this situation soon.

I’m not much of a straight up burger girl. I like things in my burgers, on top of my burgers, and all around my burgers. I like burgers with flavor and little surprises along the way.

I don’t really care for just a generic patty because that’s no fun and I like to play with my food!

I had some bison that needed used up and decided to see if I could make a fajita style burger. That is, I wanted a burger that reflected some of the flavors you would find in a fajita.

This burger turned out really great tasting for a first experiment. I have a few tweaks I’d like to make to it, but it’s a lovely burger perfect for a relaxing weekend BBQ.

It’s Scott’s birthday week, so this means we get to eat some super special meals. One of the things Scott wanted for sure was some steak. We don’t eat red meat often, not because we think it’s The Devil Meat but just because we don’t eat all that much meat in general. Everything in moderation, ya know.

When my husband asks for something he gets it or at least I try my best to provide it for him. We were at the butcher and none of their steaks looked very appealing. I felt really awful having to tell Scott that none of the steak was worth purchasing. He explained that he understood as the meat didn’t look too nice and it was no big deal.

I, however, was totally bummed.

We moved on to another butcher, one who provides bison (buffalo) meats and they just happened to have some bison steaks on sale. Both of us have only ever had ground bison so steaks seemed intriguing! We bought two and brought those little babies home with us.
