Antelope meat?

[tom338]

Anybody make hamburger out of antelope trim?? If so did you add any other meat to it?

Ive heard of using pork fat but i like beef.

I add about 7% by weight of beef fat. Makes excellent burger meat.

I’ve used 5% pork fat and it turned out great.

I save all of my grind meat from everything I've killed until after the seasons are over and grind everything together and mix it all up with pork fat.

I had my antelope processed in WY but all of the trimmings I had frozen in one big bag. I took them to a butcher shop here in Michigan. They ground it and added 1/3 of the original weight of ground chuck. It was excellent! My wife said get another antelope as soon as possible! Makes the best chili we've ever had.

I don't hybrid my game ground anymore.

Ditto.
My burger from last year is elk, mule deer, antelope and whitetail deer. I save all the grind until after season or all tags are filled and then have a "burger grind day".

We add beef fat but have used pork fat also.

I don’t add anything to the grind. One of the nice things about antelope, deer, etc is how lean it is.

Beef suet for burger. Antelope is either good or it isn’t, and I suspect that field care of the meat is only part of the equation.

Shot my first antelope on Saturday, had some of it for dinner tonite.

I cannot imagine processing any more into ground meat than absolutely necessary. Wonderful, wonderful meat!

I like antelope just like it is.

Raw?

I love it. We add beef often, but love it as is. Particularly in chili. Even good in lasagna. Great burgers, too.

Antelope is great as is but if you have to add something to the grind, mix in a nice applewood-smoked bacon for making burgers on the grill.

For an added bonus when you make your bacon antelope burgers, cover peach halves with melted butter and grill till caramelized, and add slices of the peaches to the burger along with fresh basil, garden tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese

I canned some venison last year, some crappy shank, man did it turn out good!!

 

[SaskHunter]

I don't cut any of my wild game with pork when I grind it. I prefer it that way.

My antelope smash burgers are pretty f'n delicious!

 

[SaskHunter]

Raw?

Seriously, who doesn't prefer it raw?

All jokes aside, I often chop up raw wild game with onions and balsamic vinegar. That stuff is bomb!

I mix antelope just like my other wild game burger. Buy cheap fatty pork roasts to be chunked up into pieces for your trim. If I go over to central Montana and I come back with a couple antelope and a couple deer sometimes, I mix the antelope meat up with the deer trimmings for burger or sausage together, and then grind all of it together with the pork sausage.

As 270.Rose stated above if you are just making burger, mix in Applewood or any other type of bacon into the mix also. Makes great bacon burgers.
