Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the KGB Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together your KGB sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of rye bread, layer 4 oz of lean corned beef, followed by 2 oz of Swiss cheese. Top with 1 cup of creamy slaw and a generous drizzle of KGB sauce.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the second slice of rye bread on top of the assembled sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with extra KGB sauce on the side.
