1
Cook the Corned Beef
Place the corned beef brisket in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 3 hours or until tender. Remove from pot and let it rest before slicing.
2
Slice the Corned Beef
Once the brisket has cooled for a few minutes, slice it thinly against the grain.

3
Make the Rueben Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and set aside.

4
Prepare the Bread
Butter one side of each slice of marble rye bread.
5
Layer the Ingredients
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer the sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese slices, and a generous amount of Rueben sauce.
6
Top the Sandwich
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.

7
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

8
Serve the Reuben
Once grilled, remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with extra sauerkraut or sauce on the side if desired.
