- Begin by dividing the ground beef into equal portions and shaping them into patties.
- Season the patties generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
Making the Secret Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated, and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Assembling the Patty Melt
- Slice the yellow onion thinly and sauté in butter until caramelized.
- Lay out slices of rye bread and spread a generous amount of the secret sauce on each slice.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese on one side of each bread slice.
- Top the cheese with a cooked beef patty and a spoonful of caramelized onions.
- Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, sauce side down.
Grilling the Patty Melt
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a knob of butter.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Flip the sandwiches halfway through to ensure even cooking on both sides.
