Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corned Beef

    Slice the lean brisket into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Island Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of the island sauce on one side of each slice of rye bread. Place a layer of the seasoned brisket on two slices, followed by the sauerkraut and Swiss cheese.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread, sauce side down. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with extra island sauce on the side.
