Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (preferably lean)
- 6 garlic cloves (fine minced)
- 1/3 cup beer (stout beer)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 to 2 loaves (12 to 24 ounces) rye bread (marbled rye, 3/4 inch slices)
- 12 ounces sliced Swiss cheese (12 slices)
- FOR SAUTEED BEER ONIONS
- 3 sweet onions (large onion, cut into thin rings)
- 1/4 cup beer (stout)
- 1 1/3 cups beef broth
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (ancho)
How to Make
-
Step 1: To prepare onions: heat olive oil in large skillet. Add onion slices and saute for 3 minutes. Once onions become slightly opaque, add beer and cook for 30 seconds. Add broth, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Allow onions to simmer on medium-low for 30-35 minutes until liquid has absorbed and onions are soft. You can make ahead of time and reheat once patties are cooked.
-
Step 2: Preheat grill for medium high heat.
-
Step 3: Place ground beef into large bowl. Add minced garlic, 1/3 cup of stout beer, salt, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and black pepper to meat. Combine well, but do not over mix.
How to Make
-
Step 4: Form into 6-7 oblong patties, a little bigger that the length and width of the marbled rye slices.
-
Step 5: Place patties onto grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side.
-
Step 6: Toward the end of cooking, add 2 Swiss cheese slices to each patty and cook until cheese has melted.
-
Step 7: Remove from heat and arrange onto toasted rye bread. Top with sauteed onions and remaining bread halves.
