1
Prepare the Corned Beef
If using store-bought corned beef, heat it according to package instructions. If making from scratch, simmer the corned beef in a mixture of water, spices, and vinegar for about 3 hours until tender.
2
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the Russian dressing ingredients together. You can adjust the flavors to taste by adding more mayonnaise, ketchup, or horseradish as desired.

3
Assemble the Sandwich
On one slice of pumpernickel bread, layer a generous portion of the sliced corned beef. Top with 1/4 cup of sauerkraut, followed by 2 ounces of Gruyere cheese. Spread a tablespoon of Russian dressing on the other slice of pumpernickel bread.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half. Serve with extra Russian dressing on the side for dipping.
