Yield

Serves: 6

Preparation

To make the Wick rolls, preheat oven to 350°F. Make a cornstarch slurry and brush rolls. Sprinkle with caraway seeds and salt, and bake 3 minutes to set seasonings in place.
 
Season meat with Worcestershire and Kosher salt and form 6 thick patties that are thinner at the center and thicker at the edges for even cooking. 

 
Combine pastrami spice mix in a shallow dish and roll the edges and 1 side of each patty in the mixture. 
 
Heat a large, cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a little vegetable oil to the pan and cook burgers seasoned-side down for 3 minutes then turn and cook 4 minutes more. 
 
Whisk up slaw dressing and toss with cabbage and carrots. Stir up sauces. 
 
Build burgers: on the bun bottoms, smear some thousand island dressing then top with slaw, pastrami patty, some mustard sauce, horseradish (if desired) and set bun tops in place.
