Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into thin, slightly larger-than-bread-sized patties.
2. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
4. Using the same skillet, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked to your preferred doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for well-done). Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
5. Wipe out the skillet if necessary, then reduce the heat to medium. Butter one side of each slice of rye bread using the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
6. Assemble the sandwiches by layering one slice of bread (butter side down), one slice of cheese, a cooked beef patty, caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and the second slice of bread (butter side up). Repeat for the second sandwich.
7. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted. Press gently with a spatula to help the ingredients meld together.
8. Remove from the skillet, slice the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve hot.
