Layer the Ingredients
Take 4 slices of marble rye bread and spread a generous layer of the Reuben dressing on each slice. Layer the corned beef evenly on two of the slices, followed by the Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.
Grill the Sandwiches

Butter and Grill
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outside of each sandwich. 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 is melted. You may need to press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Cut and Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Let them sit for a minute before cutting them in half. Serve warm with extra Reuben dressing on the side for dipping.
