I'm glad somebody wanted to sautee the onions.!

[@RCGshakenbake]

Yeah, boy!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

👌

[@caseywilson812]

I’ll take raw red onion sliced on my burger please. Ohh and blue cheese . Thanks

[@Last_Chance.]

@@caseywilson812 that's what I'm talking about

[@janelleflagg7154]

I'm glad to bc them burgers is bland as hell no seasoning hopefully them unions helped it! Doubt it!😒

[@johndunbar2393]

Somewhere around the 9:00 minute mark, everything started into a downward spiral, and I loved every minute of it! Lol Thanks for the videos Bearded Butchers crew!

[@coulterm27]

I love these guys. Family centered. I’ve learned just about everything concerning deer from these guys. I was pumped to see some of my favorite seasonings from them to hit my local ace hardware store!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Family, faith, and food 👌

[@jeremymiller1926]

You guys are awesome. Please don't change your videos haha. Packed full of knowledge and fun. Just ordered some goodies from you guys for venison summer sausage. Can't wait.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Will do, Jeremy!

[@geraldg639]

Hell Yeah… sauté those onions! You guys are AWESOME!!!❤️🙏🏼🤍🙏🏽💙

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Agreed!

[@josephshofner6941]

I agree with you

[@five0pd310]

Smashing is the only way to do deer burgers. I don't mix any fat with my ground venison anymore. 100% all deer smashed on a hot griddle makes it as juicy as you'd ever ask for. Ofcourse, if you can afford to pay $40 for a chunk of wagyu fat...why not?! lol. They look fantastic guys. Loved the video, as usual.

[@kmisercola7180]

First what size plate in the grinder? And with my math you made a 83/17 mix. Awesome videos as always.

[@joshjameskiwibushman]

So juicy. I'm off into the hills to find a plump juicy deer that we can turn into some delicious burgers. Cheers lads!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Have fun!

[@anthonypiligno7618]

Myself personally likes to crunchy onion not the sauteed onion sauteed onion secondary....jonjon...JJ...

[@JamesWestAZ]

OMG........ Those looked so good. The dripping juices, and YES, the sauteed onions............ WOW. Only thing I disagreed with was the statement about restaurant quality............. NOPE..... Those burgers was made with love and passion. Not restaurant style.

[@keithricketts4867]

Everyone loves Seth..!! Lmao.. great video guys.. want to see more of the kids harvesting and processing their own deer..!!!!

[@northvegassailrabbit3642]

Just curious, what happens to all the hides from processing?

[@williamyoast216]

Wow. that wagyu fat will bring some butteriness to the deer. Yum. I’m sure everyone will add their tricks to smash burgers, so here are mine. Use a hot burger press instead of the paper and spatula. And if you do use paper, use parchment. It won’t stick to the meat like wax paper will. I use a dime and a squirt of water to melt my cheese. Also, prefer sautéed onions for the sweeter taste. I rely on the iceberg lettuce for the crunch factor.

[@blueblazer201]

You guys are all a lot of fun watch. I'd go with a slice of raw onion though, and a sesame seed bun, and lets not forget a splash of mustard (but NO ketchup!!!).

[@sikariocln8194]

Seth is so nice, he ended up sharing the sautéed onions with Scott 😂

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Right!!

[@OttawaMikes]

I'm with Scott. Raw onions are sooo much better.

[@jimbow2928]

Sautéed mushrooms would’ve been really good

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Can't argue with that!

[@rwilson208]

I love watching you guys work. You guys do it down to earth and with excellent execution.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@lm464326]

Yes. You have to saute the onions. lol

[@jaedanmoore2452]

Pretty nice but I think the purpose of a deer burger is you want it to taste like deer and not a cow, just my opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@clearshadow7997]

Another great video! I think ill be making these in the near future… have you ever mixed lamb trimmings in with venison for a burger? Curious how the lamb fat would come through… Keep up the great videos!

[@RCGshakenbake]

It's getting to the point where I can't watch your content because it's TOO GOOD! LOL Also, yes SAUTÉ THOSE ONIONS! If you like crunchy, do a little of both. I've done that before and it's really good.

[@johnsabat3553]

Those look amazing and I agree with Seth sautéed onions for sure.

[@justinoliver5566]

Isn't 2.5lbs of wagyu fat out of a total of 15lbs only 16.7%? Is there like some secret butcher math going on here? Sorry I couldn't help myself... I'm an accountant, but also a bearded butchers fanboy and loyal customer. As always keep up the good work fellas. Can't wait to harvest my first deer of the season to make some of that venison bacon you guys cooked up a couple videos ago. Guess I'll have to make some smash burgers now too.

[@coreyhamby2989]

Yes special butcher math indeed. They take 20% of 12.5 lbs which is 2.5 lbs. They are taking the total pounds of deer and then finding 20% and then adding that much wagyu fat into the meat

[@justinoliver5566]

@@coreyhamby2989 it was a light-hearted jab, I love these guys like family I've been watching them so long....that being said, they said 2.5lbs of fat to 12.5lbs of venison gives you 20% fat to 80% venison and that math is simply not right. Happy hunting fellas and keep up the good work!!

[@mbrez4271]

Y'all better make lots of money to pay for the law suit I am filing against you. I am now living with a severely torn hamstring after slipping on a puddle of drool under my chair that formed sometime during the playing of this video. My life will never be the same again.

[@sturisa]

Excellent guys, I like onions either fresh or sauteed. Your onions are even better because you caramelized them which makes them sweeter! Those burgers look delicious!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Sounds great!

[@ViewTalay]

well done lads, they looked brilliant. Cheers from the UK

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bobbyhernandez2415]

Sautéed onions are great!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@ClawHeart4258]

I loved every moment of this, but the math guy in me has to comment. 12.5 lbs of meat and 2.5 lbs of fat is a 5:1 ratio, which is 83/17. 4:1 (10 lbs meat, 2.5 lbs fat) would be 80/20.

[@timcrabtree5609]

You should try some of my smoked cheese on them .I tried to get on the website to get some of that fat but couldn't sign in please forward the info thanks bros in CHRIST .white beard from Lucas county Crab

[@charlieslorenson1861]

Would be amazing to try it with the wagyu fat we get three deer per person with our tags on Kodiak Island Alaska those sound amazing and I love the sauteed onions and then when you mix them with the crispy ones at the end that's even better

[@rinnsbebelindegrombe]

Man, Amazing! 1 Question tho: How intense is the wild flavour (haut gout). We dont have access to deer in my area 24/7, so i have to call the hunter for it. BTW: You have to mandatorily saute the onions!

[@taylorbokshowan5713]

Can’t find Waygu fat…? Use bone beef marrow. Also it’s free comparatively

[@iamher6422]

Who doesn’t sautée onions? I’d sautée them just for the smell of it.

[@nicholasgonzales9254]

gonna guess, going on a limb here! that these beards would vote for Hershel walker

[@MrAqr2598]

8:44~ Doesn't matter whether my onions are sautéed or not. Of course, I'd go full-on greedy and add both on my burger.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Why choose when you can add both, right?

[@MrAqr2598]

@@TheBeardedButchers Yep, who said that both is *not* an option?

“Don’t grill the onions for the burgers” said no one ever. Well I guess one guy on here said it LOL. That’s ok though, everyone has to be special in their own way. Next time add some mushrooms to grill with those onions!!

Hi From South Africa 🇿🇦 . Have you guys ever used brisket fat in you burger ? We use it in all our burger and sausage grinds. The have you ever had the opportunity to work with South African Bonsmara catle?

Oh yeah, sauteed onions and mushrooms, 2 slices of bacon between the patties! Awesome mix!

[@chriszinn7143]

Your first chuds bbq collaboration or second if you count the podcast, should be you sponsoring a video with your spice/spice blends and him doing his style of video with your spices or spice blends.

[@kingbradley2196]

hey guys love your channel. Question is it safe to give the bones ((if they have not been cooked) excess fat and the organ meat you don't eat like stomach lungs to dogs as treats? if so can you do an episode on how to prepare the leftovers for dogs?

[@JoeMoFasho]

Raw onions are a food crime against humanity. Always cook em up

[@skapur]

Slow is usually jerky and messy. Definitely not smooth OR fast 😂 The inertia of fast motion makes it smooth.

[@tomsreviews238]

You could have added all that stuff to an old sneaker and it would taste good. If you don' t like venison then don't shoot it.

[@ELeugeneEL]

Did they say 12.5# of venison and 2.5# of fat gave an 80/20 ratio? Would that actually be 90/10?

[@DareDog.]

Yes. 2.5/12.5 is .20. 20%.

[@ELeugeneEL]

@@DareDog. damn, I’m embarrassed in my initial math reaction.

[@thesoiney24]

They actually made an 83/17. 12 lbs of venison to 3 lbs of fat would be an 80/20

[@bjetpilot]

Caramelize the onions. Always. Cook mushrooms as long too.

[@nicholasmarano88]

Oh yea, also.... everybody knows the level of onion-doneness depends on the individual’s preference and individual burger recipe itself. But according to Smellivision I’d agree with Scott; raw onion would be a match to the richness of the game meat. 🖖🏼🖖🏼 Count it.

[@stangssoftwash]

Ive seen you guys make deer burger with pork fat....I did a 90%-10% and I grinded it only twice and when I made a burger paddy and put it on the cast iron pan just to get a taste it seemed wet and really fine. I don't know what went on and its possible its the grinding process. Hoping maybe you guys could shine a little light or recommendations thanks!....FORGOT to mention I'm using a Kitchenaid mixer with the meat grinder attachment.

[@JefF-rv7gp]

Raw onions? Blasphemy! Sautee them onions !!!!!

[@Sagern234]

Sautee onions only... personally can't eat a raw one..

[@shiggityswa]

I shot a doe first week of the season here in Michigan. I bought some waygu tallow that I ground into all my burger. I did a 10:1 ratio and it was still juicy. It’ll be the only thing I’ll mix in with my venison burger now.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Excellent choice, Jay!

Gentlemen and gentlewomen... congrats and well done on all yinz production of late!! Incredible! Can’t wait to get a DIY sausage kit soon! They’re no doubt the juiciest venison burgers ever but I’ve gotta ask yinz to go all out now... “These are deer”, indeed. They’re also 20% beef. Some of the BEST BEEF! My guys!! 🤩🤪😋✌🏼🥳 No complaints here boys, but perhaps a challenge. Strictly outta curiosity. Is it possible to make a juicy venison burger mince using venison fat?? I realize how lean the animal is; but to make “the juiciest venison burger” it must first, all be venison, no? The double-plate grinder is def game-changing!
