Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seitan Pastrami

    If not already prepared, marinate and cook the seitan to create a pastrami-like flavor and texture.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of Texas toast, layer half of the seitan pastrami, followed by half of the sauerkraut, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a generous spread of Russian dressing.

  3. 3

    Top and Butter

    Place another slice of Texas toast on top, then spread butter on the outer sides of the sandwich.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with extra Russian dressing on the side.
