Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients needed for the sandwich.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay two slices of rye bread on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on each slice. Layer with half of the sauerkraut, followed by 4 oz of smoked corned beef brisket, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining sauerkraut. Close the sandwich with the other two slices of rye bread, dressing side down.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich, adding the remaining butter to the skillet if necessary, and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve warm with extra Russian dressing on the side.
