Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Lay out all your ingredients: rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and butter.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of rye bread, spread 2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing on each slice. Layer the corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on one slice, then top with the other slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet or grill pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

  4. 4

    Flip and Grill Other Side

    Spread the remaining butter on the top slice of bread, then carefully flip the sandwich to grill the other side. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side if desired.
