Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Rye hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Swiss cheese slices
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 0.5 cup Russian dressing
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a 1/2-inch thick patty. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up while cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, warm the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.
Spread the butter on the cut sides of the rye buns. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
To assemble the burgers, spread Russian dressing on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a grilled burger patty on top, followed by a generous scoop of sauerkraut. Spread additional Russian dressing on the top half of the bun and place it on top.
Serve the Grilled Reuben Burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a dill pickle spear.
