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.
