Assemble the Sandwich
On a clean cutting board, lay out 4 slices of marble rye bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on each slice. On 2 of the slices, layer corned beef evenly, followed by the spicy sauerkraut, and then 2 slices of provolone cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.

Grill the Sandwich
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Serve the Reuben
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Allow it to cool for a minute, then slice in half diagonally. Serve with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
