Photo: Marshall Troy
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 large red onion, sliced
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 pounds ground bison
3 ounces cold, firm blue cheese, cut into 4 (¼"-thick) slices measuring 2" x 2"
Tabasco, to taste
1 tsp. ground black pepper
4 brioche rolls, split and lightly toasted
2 whole roasted red peppers, halved
Directions
Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
In a large skillet, heat 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add onion and cook over medium heat, covered, stirring a few times, until caramelized, about 7 minutes. Add jalapeño, cover and cook over low heat until just tender, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and scrape vegetables into a mixing bowl. Return skillet to stove.
Meanwhile, divide meat into 4 equal portions. Divide each into 2 patties, one slightly larger than other. Put a slice of blue cheese on a larger patty, add a couple of dashes of Tabasco, and top with a smaller patty. Pinch sides of patties to enclose cheese. Repeat with remaining meat and cheese. Season on both sides with 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper.
Add remaining 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil to skillet. Add burgers and cook over medium-high heat until browned and medium rare, about 5 minutes per side. On bottom of each roll, place equal amount of onion mixture. Cover with burger, top with roasted red pepper half and cover with top bun. Serve immediately.
