Ingredients
- 8 lices rye bread
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter softened, for outside of bread slices
- ¼ cup Classic Russian Dressing for spreading
- 1½ lb corned beef thinly sliced
- 12 oz Sauerkraut drained
- 6 lices Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Heat a large, non-stick skillet (or griddle)over medium-high heat.
- Place a bread slice in the skillet, buttered-side down (place two slices in the skillet, if room, if not, you'll need to keep the cooked sandwiches in a warm oven, until they are all ready for serving).
- Add about a tablespoon of Russian dressing to the bread slice(s).
- Next add a nice heaping handful of the corned beef.
- On top of this, add a layer of the sauerkraut.
- On top of the kraut, add cheese slices.
- Add another layer of Russian dressing.
- Top with bread slice, buttered-side on top.
- Once lightly browned, carefully flip the sandwich, and grill the other side until nicely browned.
- Remove, slice, and serve at once!

- We order our corned beef from Katz Deli in NYC, but you can find excellent corned beef at any decent deli. It's up to you if you prefer thick-cut vs. thin-cut.
- We love to gently heat the corned beef in a heat-proof bag in simmering water for about 5 minutes. Most quality freezer/storage bags would work just fine.
- The corned beef and prepared Russian dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
