CORNED BEEF REUBEN SANDWICH
The Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich is a beloved classic, combining tangy sauerkraut, savory corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, and creamy dressing between perfectly toasted rye bread. It’s a warm, comforting, and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
(Makes 2 sandwiches)
4 slices rye bread (marble rye works well)
1/2 pound thinly sliced corned beef
4 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained
2 tablespoons butter, softened
For the Dressing:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the Dressing:
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.
On the unbuttered side, spread a layer of dressing.
Layer each sandwich with Swiss cheese, corned beef, sauerkraut, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
3. Cook the Sandwiches:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve:
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Pair with pickles, potato chips, or coleslaw for a complete meal.
Tips for Success:
Draining sauerkraut: Press excess liquid out of the sauerkraut to prevent soggy bread.
Customize the dressing: Substitute Thousand Island dressing if you're short on time.
Corned beef: Warm the corned beef slightly before assembling for faster melting of the cheese.
