Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corned Beef

    Slice the corned beef brisket into thin slices and set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Butter one side of each slice of marbled rye bread.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of rye bread, layer the corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and 2 tablespoons of Reuben sauce. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side out.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and cut in half. Serve immediately with extra Reuben sauce on the side if desired.
