Reuben Burger
Inspired by the classic Reuben sandwich, the Reuben Burger brings together the succulent flavors of tender corned beef and tangy sauerkraut in a delectable burger form. This fusion dish combines the heartiness of an American burger with the unmistakable zest of a European delicacy, creating a truly unique culinary experience.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground corned beef Preferably freshly ground by your butcher
- 1 cup sauerkraut well-drained
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 medium burger buns preferably rye buns for authenticity
- ½ cup Russian dressing homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or a heavy skillet to medium-high heat (approximately 190°C / 375°F).
- Form the ground corned beef into four equal patties, making a small indent in the center to prevent puffing up during cooking.
- Grill or pan-fry the patties for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and cooked to your liking.
- Top each burger with a slice of Swiss cheese and cover briefly to melt the cheese.
- Meanwhile, brush the insides of the rye buns with melted butter and toast them on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.
- To assemble, spread Russian dressing on the top and bottom halves of each bun. Place the patty on the bottom half, top with sauerkraut, and close with the bun top.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of caraway seeds to the sauerkraut.
