So back during my bday Iron Chef challenge, Coop made bison burgers w/ chimichurri sauce and pickled onions. I made an attempt to recreate them with the bison burgers I got at the market. YUM!
4 4oz bison burger patties from market
4 potato rolls
4 slices cheese (I wanted monterey jack but ours was bad, so I used white American)
quick pickled onions (recipe below)
chimichurri sauce (recipe below)
salt
Prepare characoal grill (thanks, John!). Season patties with salt. Grill until desired temperature (melt cheese on patties and toast buns on grill).
As burgers are cooking, prepare your sauce and onions (below).
Top each cheesy patty with chimichurri and onions. Serve.
