Smoked Corned Beef Brisket Reuben Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Corned Beef

   Smoke the corned beef brisket at 225°F (107°C) for about 4-6 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C). Let it rest before slicing.

2. 2

   Prepare the Fries

   Cut the potatoes into fries and soak them in water for 30 minutes. Drain and dry them thoroughly. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry the potatoes until golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Assemble the Reuben

   Spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. On the unbuttered side, layer Swiss cheese, sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Top with another slice of rye bread, buttered side up.

4. 4

   Grill the Sandwiches

   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side, and the cheese is melted.

5. 5

   Prepare the Chipotle Ketchup

   Mix the chipotle sauce into ketchup for a spicy dipping sauce.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the Reuben sandwiches in half and serve hot alongside crispy fries and chipotle ketchup.
