My Favorite Reuben Sandwich Recipe
This Reuben sandwich combines layers of warmed corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and a creamy homemade Russian dressing, all grilled between buttered marbled rye bread slices. The melting Swiss cheese and tangy sauerkraut complement the savory corned beef, while the dressing adds a sweet and sharp note. The sandwich is cooked on a pan until the bread is golden and the cheese melts, creating a nicely toasted exterior and a melty, hearty filling. It's a rich, satisfying sandwich best served warm for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice sweet
- 1 teaspoon pickle relish sweet
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon horseradish cream
- 4 lices marbled rye bread
- 3-4 tablespoons butter , softened
- 4 lices swiss cheese
- ½ pound corned beef warmed, cooked
- ½ cup sauerkraut , drained
Instructions
- Mix the mayonnaise, pickle juice, pickle relish, lemon juice and horseradish cream in a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat a frypan on medium to medium-low heat. Butter one side of each of the slices of bread and place the buttered sides together. On one set of bread, lay a slice of swiss cheese on the bread, then top with half of the warmed corned beef, then half of the drained sauerkraut and half of the Russian dressing. Place the sandwich buttered side down in the frypan and top with another slice of cheese and the other side of the bread, buttered side up. Cover with a lid and cook until the cheese melts and the bread is golden. Flip and cook on the other side. Repeat with the makings of the other sandwich.
