For best results, ensure both the venison and pork are partially frozen before grinding; this will give the mixture a better texture. Don't overmix the ground meat mixture to keep the burgers tender. Adjust the amount of pepper Jack cheese to suit your spice preference. Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the buns from becoming soggy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMake the burgers: Grind partially frozen venison meat and pork butt together using a meat grinder or food processor; transfer to a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
02
StepMelt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, mushrooms, and salt; cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool, about 5 minutes.
03
StepAdd onion mixture to ground meat. Add yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper and mix until just combined. Form mixture into six patties and arrange on a large plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
04
StepMeanwhile, make the sauce: Mix mayonnaise, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lime juice together in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
05
StepPreheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
06
StepSpread 1/2 teaspoon butter onto the inside of each split bun. Remove burgers from the refrigerator and season both sides with salt.
07
StepHeat a skillet over low heat; cook buns, buttered-sides down, in the heated pan until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer buns to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.
08
StepAt the same time, heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add burgers and cook until the desired degree of doneness is reached, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
09
StepTop each burger with a tomato slice and 2 slices pepper Jack cheese. Remove skillet from the heat and cover until cheese is slightly melted, about 5 minutes.
10
StepSpread 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce onto the inside of each bun bottom. Top with burgers and bun tops.

Apr 22, 2025I was hesitant about venison, but this recipe changed my mind. The pork keeps the burgers moist and flavorful.
