1
Form the Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Form the mixture into a round patty approximately 1/3 lb in weight and about 3/4 inch thick.
2
Cook the Patty
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patty in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F (70°C) for a medium doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.

3
Slice the Onion
Peel and slice the medium onion into thin rings.
4
Coat the Onion
In a bowl, toss the sliced onions with all-purpose flour until evenly coated.
5
Fry the Onions
In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the coated onions and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

6
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the cooked patty, followed by two slices of Swiss cheese and the fried onions.
7
Grill the Sandwich
Top with the second slice of rye bread, buttered side facing out. Place the sandwich in the skillet over medium heat. Grill until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
8
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
