Method
Melt half the butter in a large frying pan over medium-low heat and cook the onions for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelised.
Shape the beef mince into four thin oval patties and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a separate large frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3 minutes on each side until a meat thermometer reads 71°C.
Butter the outside of each slice of rye bread. Layer four slices with cheese, a patty, caramelised onions and more cheese, then close with the remaining bread.
Griddle the sandwiches over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
Cut in half and serve immediately.
