Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Russian Dressing

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay out two slices of marbled rye bread. Spread a generous amount of the house-made Russian dressing on each slice.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    Add a layer of pastrami on one slice, followed by a layer of sauerkraut, and then top with Swiss cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top, dressing side down.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Butter the outside of the sandwich lightly. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down with a spatula.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the heat. Cut in half and serve with extra Russian dressing on the side.
