This version is what I like to call...NEXT LEVEL!
Enjoy...
La Frita Cubana: Bison Style
Organic grass-fed Bison NY Strip Steak. Lean meat with a deep, rich, beefy finish.
The pork component. Fresh chorizo adds flavor and fat to the patty.
Bison & Chorizo patty evenly browned and finished with some ground coriander.
Creamy havarti one of my favorite cheeses. It's...well...creamy.
Cuban Espresso Ketchup. Coming to a market near you, Faith!
Yukon gold potatoes, the universe's gift to cooks. These became matchstick fries.
Close the show with a perfect slow cooked egg & fresh thyme.
The rich egg yolk becomes like an extra sauce. Messy?! Maybe. But damn well worth it!
This bison frita was a big hit at a lunch party recently. Great burger, Miami sunshine, good friends, what could be better?!

This is insane!!! I planned to make my own chorizo this week and can't wait to put it in a burger... and I've already started experimenting with espresso ketchup... making it up as I go along (decided to put chipotle in ketchup with espresso... tasted great!). I love the dripping egg on the burger. another winner, Laz
ReplyDeleteDear Lazaro, I bet this was a hit! What could be better..good food, good company and as you say Florida! The burger sounds delish!! Have a beautiful and blessed weekend. Catherine
ReplyDeleteI made a frita a while back, but never like this. Picture perfect. No seas malo dame la receta del katsup con cafe...porfi!:}
ReplyDeleteHey there Lazaro!! Thanks for the love over on my blog. I'm here to return the favor! This looks fantastic - it's making me want breakfast for dinner. Consider yourself followed! \m/
ReplyDeleteReally awesome! I love the chorizo in the patty along with bison, and so excellent in combination with creamy havarti, perfectly cooked egg, and your Cuban espresso ketchup!
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a sandwich! I can see why you brought this one back and to a new level! Love the creaminess of Havarti, and if it's messy it's that much better! Did you make the Cuban esprsso ketchup? Sounds perfect too.
ReplyDeleteanything with soft egg yolks is heaven to me. this hamburger looks like the American version of my favorite sandwich ever: croque madam. superbravo! (it's Barbara with a new nickname)
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of THE best burgers I've laid eyes on. Looks so good! And with the homemade fries...I'm in foodie heaven! :)
ReplyDeleteI am in total agreement with Lyndsey- the messier the better!
Have a great day,
Tammy
You hit this one out of the park! Great dish and so nicely presented. Hey, I'm only about an hour away - next time you're making this, put my name on one!
ReplyDeleteI just ate dinner (steaks with mushroom sauce and fresh steamed veggies), and I want this burger! I don't care how full I am!
ReplyDeleteLazaro, I do not have the words to express how in love with this burger I am. It's things like this that make me SO glad I became an (ethical) carnivore again. I have some ground bison in the freezer, can't imagine a better use for it. And the FRIED EGG. Sigh. What a beautiful messy meal that must have been.
ReplyDeleteI don't have to taste it to know how wonderful it must taste. Okay so I would love to taste it too:) Love how it was topped off with the fried egg, so yummy. Hey you could sell these for like $15 a pop!
ReplyDeleteMessy or not is not of any concern to me, I will eat that yummy looking burger for sure!
ReplyDeleteBison & chorizo, great start for your fabulous burger. No doubt it was a big hit. Looks like the perfect portion size too.
ReplyDeleteLL
Messy , yet beautiful.. i hope you enjoyed eating it .. ;)
ReplyDeletete lo comiste.... well rather the chorizo! nice job.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by that cuban espresso ketchup!! All your ingredients sound so amazing together. Messy and absolutely delicious!! Definitely a whole new level. Havarti is my all-time favorite and the creaminess is perfect for this juicy burger!
ReplyDeleteThat really does look like the perfect fried egg.
ReplyDeleteToo much of a good thing is never enough.
That burger looks outrageous! I totally want one :)
ReplyDeleteI would go crazy with this burger especially the runny yolk on top! espresso ketchup? that sounds (damn) good. I have to find bison to get in my kitchen very soon. I need Miami heat!
ReplyDeleteWow what a flavor loaded burger! And the havarti is a perfect balancing touch...one of my favorites as well :)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a serious burger, I love the egg on top! Creamy havarti is one of favorite cheeses too...I love it so much that I actually try not to keep it in the house (dangerous stuff around me!). Don't get my hopes up about the ketchup! ;)
ReplyDeleteMessy? I don't care... I'm totally in for this burger!! And you made the french fries so perfectly... now this looks like a perfect meal. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, Laz! you didn't just take this to the next level, you took it to the next level and beyond, my friend. i don't think i've ever had bison before, but would love to try it one day if given the chance. love the finishing touch with the slow cooked egg!
