- For the burgers: Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, blend the beef, corned beef and pork by hand, mixing well until evenly and thoroughly mixed.
- Next, portion the meat into 4 equal patties and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Grill the burgers on the first side for 5 to 6 minutes, then flip and repeat grilling on the second side.
- While the burgers are cooking, in a saute pan over high heat, add grapeseed oil, allow to heat until smoking then reduce the heat to medium.
- Next, add the dressed sauerkraut and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring with a spatula during the process.
- Once cooked, add one-quarter of the dressed kraut on the top of the burgers, and then top with the cheese.
- To build the burgers: Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add the butter to the pan and brown the rolls one at a time, repeating the process until all the rolls have been browned.
