• Refrigerate. This sauce will hold for a few weeks in the refrigerator!
• Yield 1 ½ cups.
• For the Venison Burger: Mix the ground venison, oil, salt and pepper well. You can also add some pork fat if you like -- I like my burgers very lean so I don't add fat. You just have to be careful they don't fall apart on the grill, so add as much oil as you need to hold them together.
• Grill or broil for about 4 minutes per side.
