Beefalo burgers
Beefalo burgers are patties made from a blend of beef and meat from the Beefalo, a cross between domestic cattle and American bison. They are typically seasoned and grilled or pan-fried, often served on a bun with standard burger toppings. The concept originated in the United States as a way to combine the flavor of beef with the leaner, heartier qualities of bison.
