Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 8 slices rye or marble rye bread
- 8 slices Swiss or American cheese
- Mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard for serving
Directions
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and shape into 4 patties.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices, mayo side down, on a clean work surface.
- Layer each slice of bread with a slice of cheese, a cooked beef patty, caramelized onions, and another slice of cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, mayo side up.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter.
- Grill the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, pressing down gently with a spatula, for 3-4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before slicing in half. Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, and additional mayonnaise if desired.
