1
Slice the Onion
Thinly slice the medium onion.
2
Saute the Onions
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized. Set aside.

3
Form the Patty
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
4
Cook the Patty
In the same skillet used for the onions, add a little more oil if needed, and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

5
Add Cheese
Once the patty is cooked, place the two slices of Swiss cheese on top of the patty. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
6
Toast the Bread
While the cheese is melting, butter one side of each slice of rye bread.
7
Grill the Sandwich
In the same skillet, add the buttered slices of rye bread, buttered side down. Grill for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
8
Combine
Place the melted patty with cheese on one slice of grilled rye, layer with the sauteed onions, and top with the other slice of grilled rye.
