Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Corned Beef

    Using a sharp knife, slice the lean corned beef against the grain into thin slices.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rye Bread

    Lay out the rye bread slices on a clean cutting board. Spread mustard evenly on two of the slices.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On top of the mustard-covered rye bread, layer the sliced corned beef, followed by sauerkraut and Swiss cheese.

  2. 4

    Top and Grill

    Place the remaining slices of rye bread on top to complete the sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat, and grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Once grilled, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Allow them to cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
