Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pastrami

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the pastrami and heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    In a mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with half of the Russian dressing. Toss well to coat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of rye bread, layer the warm pastrami, followed by the Swiss cheese. Top with the coleslaw mixture.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Spread butter on the outer sides of each sandwich. In a skillet over medium-low heat, grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve with the remaining Russian dressing on the side for dipping.
