Secret Ingredient: Buffalo Meat

The combination of lean buffalo meat, creamy Gorgonzola and richly flavored sun-dried tomatoes is sure to wow a crowd. To learn how to make this recipe, watch the Secret Ingredient cooking show.

Ingredients

4 ounces chilled Gorgonzola, crumbled (about 1 cup)
3 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground buffalo meat

Method

Combine Gorgonzola, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add ground buffalo and with your hands or two forks, lightly bring all the ingredients together, taking care not to overwork the meat. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to hold the meat together. With dampened hands, form the meat into 4 patties of even thickness. These are fairly large patties; make 6 smaller patties if desired.

Place patties on a lined baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Light the grill or preheat the broiler. Cook the burgers, turning carefully with a spatula, for 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
