Grilled Pastrami Burger



1 lb. ground beef

½ lb. pastrami, sliced

4 slices of swiss cheese

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

4 hamburger buns

1-2 cups shredded lettuce


Russian dressing

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ ketchup

1 teaspoon horseradish

¼ teaspoon worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon salt


Preheat the grill to medium high heat.


While the grill is heating up, mix together all the ingredients to the Russian dressing in a bowl.  Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.


In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, salt and pepper.  Form into 4 equal sized patties and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.  This will make it easier to transfer onto the grill.


Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side.  


Place a quarter of the pastrami on each of the hamburgers and top with a slice of swiss cheese.  Cook for 2-3 more minutes.  Internal temperature of the burger should reach 165 degrees.  Remove from the grill.


To serve, add lettuce to one half of the bun and top with hamburger.  Place a generous amount of the Russian dressing to the other half of the bun and top the burger.
