Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beer-Braised Sauerkraut

    In a saucepan, combine the sauerkraut and Guinness beer. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauerkraut is heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread. Layer corned beef, beer-braised sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on 2 slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add more butter as needed.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side.
