Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corned Beef

    If the corned beef is not already cooked, simmer it in a large pot of water for about 3 hours, or until tender. Allow to cool, then slice thinly against the grain.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauerkraut

    Drain the sauerkraut and press out excess moisture. If preferred, you can lightly sauté it in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Assembling the Reuben

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take two slices of rye bread and spread Russian dressing on one side of each slice. Layer with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut.

  2. 4

    Top and Butter the Sandwich

    Top the sandwich with another slice of rye bread. Spread butter on the outer sides of the bread.

Cooking the Reuben

  1. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve hot with additional Russian dressing on the side, if desired.
