Yak burgers are delicious because they are so lean yet so juicy!\u00a0I’d never heard of yak meat until our cousin Daphne introduced it to us a few years ago. She orders them in bulk since they are not commonly sold in stores. Apparently yak meat is 95-97% lean, low in cholesterol and is packed with\u00a0protein so it’s gaining\u00a0popularity amongst the health conscious. The consensus on cooking method appears\u00a0to be (1) do not overpower the delicate taste by over-spicing it, and (2) do not overcook it. This here is not much of a recipe since it’s so simple, but it tastes great! I think with Yak burgers, it’s best to keep it simple and enjoy the taste\u00a0of the meat.<\/p>\n

      Prepare the patties<\/h4>
      • Form the ground yak into patties. Throw from palm to palm about 10 times to let the air out.<\/div><\/li>
      • Salt and pepper both sides of the patties.<\/div><\/li>
      • Sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder on one side of the patties.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

        Grill<\/h4>

        • Slice the brioche buns in half and place them on the grill until grill marks are formed.<\/div><\/li>
        • Place the onion slices on the grill and cook until grill marks are formed.<\/div><\/li>
        • Turn the patties over and grill until the meat is cooked, but be careful not to overcook them.<\/div><\/li>
        • Turn the buns over and grill until grill marks are formed on both sides.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

          Serve<\/h4>
          • Serve deconstructed or assembled. To assemble, place the bacon, cheese, patty, tomato, lettuce and onions between the buns. Pierce vertically through the middle with a thin bamboo stick to keep the burger together.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
