These Asian Bison Burgers are just the thing to change up your grilling routine! Lean ground bison burgers full of asian flavors and topped with a sriracha aioli!
I just love a good burger, don’t you? And as much as I love a classic cheeseburger, sometimes I like to change it up and do something a little different. That is what happened with this burger. For one, I decided to use bison instead of beef. I am a huge fan of bison for several reasons. First of all, bison tends to be lower in fat and higher in protein than regular beef. And I also think it tastes better. If you listened to the podcast interview I did a few weeks ago, you might remember me talking about growing up eating moose meat in Alaska. Bison has always reminded me a little bit of that, with a richer, meatier taste. I picked up the ground bison at my local Fred Meyer. Have you ever had bison? What do you think of it?

The drawback of bison being lower fat is that it can dry out when cooking. So I decided to give these burgers some extras. Garlic, ginger, sesame oil, oyster sauce, chili garlic sauce plus an egg and some breadcrumbs to bind it all together. These patties were a bit delicate, so I grilled them on my grill pan rather than the outdoor grill. Then I topped it off with my Sesame Carrot and Cucumber Slaw and a sriracha aioli.
Keeping it short and sweet today because my sister is in town and we are going to do some sisterly things on this sunny Friday. Have a great weekend, friends! I hope you get to fire up the grill, or at least the grill pan, and make these flavor bomb Asian Bison Burgers.

I love love love a good burger. I get so excited when we visit America just because I can get my hands on a good burger. These bison burgers look amazing! Love the Asian twist too!
Meghan says
A good burger was the thing I missed most when I was travelling abroad! But the good news is you can make them at home! Thanks Jess!
Clarissa says
Bison is everywhere here in Colorado – I LOVE it – definitely a richer, denser meat than your standard ground chuck. This looks delicious!

I need a griiiilllllll. I’d settle for gas but I really want to learn my way around a charcoal grill. Gas feels a little like cheating ( but better than nothing.)
Meghan says
I totally agree Christine! I prefer Charcoal but sometimes gas is the only option. I actually even used a grill pan for these – so you can make these inside!
Jane @ littlesugarsnaps says
Meghan these burgers are fantastic. Bison meat is not easy to find in the uk, but I love all of your extras – I’m wondering if I should try them with some very low fat ground beef. I can see how your slaw is the perfect topping given all of those additions to the meat too. Think they are going to the top of my list for our next BBQ.
Meghan says
Thank you Jane! I think they would be great with beef too 🙂
