Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Ingredients

    Collect all ingredients listed in the recipe to ensure you have everything on hand.

  2. 2

    Toast Sauerkraut

    Drain the sauerkraut and place it in a small pan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take two slices of rye bread and spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on each slice. Layer the corned beef evenly on one slice, followed by the toasted sauerkraut, and then the Swiss cheese. Top with the second slice of bread.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the prepared sandwich to the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it sit for a minute before slicing in half. Serve hot with additional Russian dressing on the side if desired.
