1
Prepare the Corned Beef
If you haven't done so already, cook the corned beef according to your preferred method (braising, slow cooking, or pressure cooking) until tender. Let it rest, then slice it thinly against the grain.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Lay out four slices of rye bread. Layer each with sliced corned beef, a generous portion of sauerkraut, and two slices of Swiss cheese.
3
Top and Butter
Place another slice of rye bread on top of each sandwich. Spread butter on the outer sides of the bread.
4
Grill the Sandwiches
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. 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 has melted.
5
Serve
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and cut in half. Serve warm with Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
