Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pastrami

    Slice the pastrami into thin strips if not pre-sliced. This will help it heat evenly on the grill.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Spread Mustard

    Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on two slices of rye bread.

  2. 4

    Layer the Pastrami

    Evenly distribute the pastrami over the mustard-coated slices of rye bread.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the pastrami.

  4. 6

    Top with Bread

    Cover with the remaining slices of rye bread, mustard side down.

Grilling

  1. 7

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outside of each sandwich.

  2. 8

    Grill the Sandwiches

    Place the sandwiches on the preheated grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 9

    Flip and Grill

    Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.

Serving

  1. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the grill, slice in half, and serve hot. Enjoy your grilled pastrami sandwich!
