Sandwich Components

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste for the special dressing.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the special dressing on one side of each slice of marble rye bread. On two of the slices, layer the corned beef or turkey, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.

  3. 3

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the sandwiches and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with extra dressing on the side.
