Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup catsup |
1/4 cup pickle relish |
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon celery seed |
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as tabasco |
2 cups sauerkraut, drained |
grapeseed oil, for cooking |
1 pound ground beef, 80/20 blend |
1 pound corned beef, ground |
1 pound ground pork |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
4 slices swiss or gruyere cheese |
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pats |
4 good-quality kaiser rolls |
Directions:
1. For the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, catsup, relish, vinegar, celery seed and hot sauce, mixing well. Then blend with the sauerkraut and hold.
2. For the burgers: Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F.
3. In a bowl, blend the beef, corned beef and pork by hand, mixing well until evenly and thoroughly mixed. Next, portion the meat into 4 equal patties and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill the burgers on the first side for 5 to 6 minutes, then flip and repeat grilling on the second side.
4. While the burgers are cooking, in a saute pan over high heat, add grapeseed oil, allow to heat until smoking then reduce the heat to medium. Next, add the dressed sauerkraut and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring with a spatula during the process. Once cooked, add one-quarter of the dressed kraut on the top of the burgers, and then top with the cheese.
5. To build the burgers: Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add the butter to the pan and brown the rolls one at a time, repeating the process until all the rolls have been browned. Then place the dressed burgers on the bottom buns, finish with the bun top and serve.
