Reuben Sandwich

A griddled deli classic stacking warm corned beef, melted Swiss, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing between crisp buttered rye.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm the sliced corned beef in a covered skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of water for 3 to 4 minutes until heated through and pliable, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the drained sauerkraut in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed and any excess liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes, so it does not make the sandwich soggy.

  3. 3

    Butter one side of each bread slice, then build each sandwich butter-side-out: a slice of Swiss, a quarter of the corned beef, a quarter of the sauerkraut, a tablespoon of dressing, a second slice of Swiss, and the top bread slice.

  4. 4

    Griddle each sandwich in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is deep golden and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute so the cheese sets slightly, then slice diagonally and serve hot with a dill pickle.
