Step 1
Slice the onion into thin rings. Heat butter in a skillet over medium and cook onions until golden and soft, stirring occasionally, ~6 minutes.
Step 2
Divide beef into four thin patties about 3 inches across. Season two patties with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic.
Step 3
Place cheese and a pinch of caramelized onions on one seasoned patty. Top with the second seasoned patty and press edges to seal.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium-high. Sear the stuffed patty 3 minutes per side without moving—edges should brown and crisp.
Step 5
Toast buns cut-side down in the residual pan heat for 45 seconds until light golden.
Step 6
Place patty on bottom bun, top with remaining caramelized onions, then crown bun. Serve immediately.
