Instructions: |
Shape into 4 equal patties and season with spice rub*. Hold in refrigerator until ready to grill.
Brush onion, corn and tomatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with spice rub. Grill onions until tender, corn until toasted, and tomatoes just to char. Cut corn from cob, chop onion and tomato. Toss with chiles, garlic, cilantro, olive oil and sweet balsamico. Season salsa to taste with spice rub, and reserve at room temperature.
Grill bison patties to 160 degrees, topping with cheddar last few minutes to melt. Toast buns on grill. Assemble in this order: bottom toasted bun, lettuce, patty, drained salsa, and finally the top bun.
*Spice Rub: Combine 3 Tbs. Paprika, 1 Tbs. cayenne, 2 Tbs. garlic powder, 1 Tbs. onion powder, 3 Tbs. sea or Kosher salt, 2 Tbs. black pepper, 1 Tbs. dried oregano, 1 Tbs. dried thyme, 2 Tbs. brown sugar (sugar optional). Feel free to adjust to personal taste. Store leftovers in an air-tight container for future use.
If you don't have sweet balsamico, reduce regular balsamic vinegar with brown sugar to a syrup. |
