Cuban Reuben Ingredients

Method

Cuban Reuben Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble Ingredients

    On two slices of rye bread, layer 1 cup of pulled pork, 2 oz of pastrami, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, ½ cup of coleslaw, and a handful of pickles.

  3. 3

    Add Dressing

    Spread ¼ cup of Russian dressing on the other two slices of rye bread.

  4. 4

    Combine Sandwiches

    Top the assembled ingredients with the slices of bread that have the Russian dressing.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwiches

    Spread butter on the outside of the sandwiches and place them in the heated skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve with extra Russian dressing on the side.
