 - Once thawed, cook within 48 hours. For exact guidance, use our Storage & Thaw Calculator.
 
How to Cook (3 Easy Methods)
Food-safety target for ground meat: cook to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Use a fast, accurate thermometer.
1) Cast-Iron / Flat-Top (maximum crust)
- Preheat until lightly smoking; add a thin film of oil or butter (antelope is lean).
 - Season patties; sear 3–4 minutes per side to 160°F.
 - Rest 3–5 minutes; finish with a sauce or cheese for extra juiciness.
 
2) Charcoal or Gas Grill
- Use a medium-high, well-oiled grate. Consider a two-zone setup for control.
 - Grill 3–5 minutes per side to 160°F. Avoid pressing—keep juices in.
 - Move to indirect heat if flare-ups occur. Need setup help? Try the Grill Setup Wizard.
 
3) Smash-Style (thin, lacy edges)
- On a hot griddle, place a portioned ball and smash firmly for deep browning.
 - Season; cook ~1½–2 minutes, flip, add cheese, and finish to 160°F.
 - Stack two thin patties for the perfect texture contrast.
 
Pro Tips
- Brush with fat: a light coat of oil or butter improves browning and tenderness on lean grinds.
 - Gentle handling: don’t overwork—looser packs = tender bites.
 - Bun strategy: toasted brioche or pretzel; a swipe of peppercorn mayo or cranberry-mustard locks in moisture.
 
Quality & Safety
- Ships frozen via cold-chain with insulated packaging and dry ice. See Shipping for cut-offs and delivery timing.
 - On arrival, move directly to the freezer or begin a controlled fridge thaw. Review best practices in Meat Safety & Storage.

Chef’s note: Antelope loves herb, smoke, and a touch of acid—try a juniper-rosemary rub, hot sear, then finish with lemon and a spoon of peppercorn or cranberry-onion sauce.
