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
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
While the burgers are cooking, warm the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the Grilled Reuben Burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a dill pickle spear.
