  • step 1
    ingredients  
    instructions Place two non-stick pans over medium-high heat.
  • step 2
    ingredients 1 pound Ground Beef 75/25
    1/2 pound Pastrami (chopped finely)
    Salt and Pepper
    instructions Combine the two meats together to form patties large enough to fit the rye bread. Season with salt and pepper.
  • step 3
    ingredients Olive Oil 
    4 tablespoons Butter (divided) 
    1 Garlic clove
    1 sprig Thyme
    5 slices Swiss Cheese 
    instructions Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to one pan and add the patties (working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan). Sear on one side until deep brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking 3 to 4 minutes or until desired doneness. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add 2 tablespoons of butter, the garlic and thyme. Once the butter is melted, baste the burgers with the oil/butter mixture. Add the cheese, cover with a lid and let cook for 30 seconds, or until melted. Remove patties and set aside.
  • step 4
    ingredients 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
    1/4 cup Ketchup
    1/4 cup Sweet Pickles (finely chopped)
    1/2 cup Sauerkraut
    1/2 cup Caramelized Onions 
    instructions In the other pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter and toast the bread on both sides until lightly golden brown. Mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup and pickles. Season to taste. Combine the sauerkraut and caramelized onions.
  • step 5
    ingredients 10 slices Rye Bread (1/2-inch thick)
    instructions Begin assembling the burgers. Smear each piece of bread with the ketchup/mayo and then put a burger on the bread. Top with the caramelized onions and sauerkraut. Top with the other piece of bread and squish down. Enjoy.
