Method

Pastrami Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pastrami

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this mixture all over the smoked pastrami. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pastrami

    Preheat your smoker or grill to 250°F (120°C). Smoke the pastrami for about 2-3 hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C). Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing it into burnt ends.

Russian Dressing Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Russian Dressing

    In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, dill pickle relish, and paprika until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Hoagie Rolls

    Spread butter on the outside of each hoagie roll. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the rolls until golden brown on both sides.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Hoagies

    Layer the sliced pastrami burnt ends, followed by sauerkraut and Swiss cheese inside each toasted hoagie roll. Drizzle generously with the house-made Russian dressing.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Pastrami Reuben Hoagies warm, with extra Russian dressing on the side if desired.
