Method

Cooking the Corned Beef

  1. 1

    Prep the Corned Beef

    Rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess salt and seasoning.

  2. 2

    Cook the Corned Beef

    Place the corned beef in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender.

  3. 3

    Slice the Corned Beef

    Once cooked, remove the corned beef from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin slices.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    Toast the rye bread slices lightly if desired.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On one slice of rye bread, layer the sliced corned beef, a spoonful of sauerkraut, and a dollop of Dijon mustard.

  3. 6

    Top and Serve

    Place another slice of rye bread on top to complete the sandwich. Serve with pickles on the side.
