cheesy reuben sandwich

this is my favorite sandwich to make with my leftover slow cooked corned beef. i'm sorry but i can NOT eat corned beef lunch meat. given that i grew up in cleveland and was kinda raised on fresh corned beef, it's just not the same. whenever i go to a deli and see a reuben on the menu, i have to ask. excuse me? is your corned beef made fresh? if the answer is no, i will have no choice but to order something else! these sandwiches are so tender and delicious. made with homemade russian dressing and fresh corned beef, you will have the best deli ever right there in your own kitchen.
ingredients:
- - homemade russian dressing
- 1/2 cup mayo -
- 1/4 cup ketchup -
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish -
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar -
- 1 tablespoon onion - finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce -
- salt/pepper - (i used about 1/4 teaspoon)
- - sandwich ingredients
- 8 slices rye bread -
- 8 slices swiss cheese -
- 1/2 lb corned beef - sliced thin (recipe linked below)
- 1 cup sauerkraut - placed in a kitchen towel, squeezed dry
- 3 tablespoons butter - softened
instructions:
- preheat a pan over medium high heat.
- for the dressing- combine ingredients in a small bowl.
- lay 2 slices of bread flat on a cutting board.
- slather some of the russian dressing over the slices of bread.
- place the cheese over the top of the dressing.
- add some of the leftover slow cooked thinly sliced corned beef over the top of the cheese.
- sprinkle some of the sauerkraut over the corned beef.
- carefully raise the bread pieces together into a sandwich. butter the top bread slice with some of the softened butter.
- add the sandwich to the preheated pan, buttered side down. while the sandwich is in the pan, butter the top of the other slice of bread.
- once the bottom piece has browned, carefully flip to the other side to brown.
