1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients: rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing, and butter.
2
Drain Sauerkraut
Open the can or package of sauerkraut and drain any excess liquid to avoid soggy bread.

3
Assemble the Sandwiches
On one slice of rye bread, spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing. Layer with 2 oz of corned beef, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, and 1/4 cup of drained sauerkraut. Top with another slice of rye bread.
4
Grill the Sandwiches
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown.
5
Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the sandwich and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
6
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve hot with a side of pickles or chips.
