Corned Beef

Method

Corned Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Corned Beef

    In a large pot, add the corned beef brisket, Guinness beer, beef broth, bay leaves, black peppercorns, garlic cloves, and quartered onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Rest and Slice

    Remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of marble rye bread.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the unbuttered side of four slices of bread, layer the sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, drained sauerkraut, and 1000 Island dressing.

  3. 6

    Top the Sandwiches

    Place the other four slices of bread, buttered side up, on top of the assembled sandwiches.

  4. 7

    Grill the Sandwiches

    In the skillet, grill the sandwiches over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with additional 1000 Island dressing on the side if desired.
