Pastrami Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauerkraut

    If using homemade house sauerkraut, ensure it is well-drained and seasoned to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of rye bread, spread the Dijon mustard. Layer the pastrami, Swiss cheese, and house sauerkraut on top. Drizzle the giddy-up sauce over the sauerkraut, then top with the second slice of rye bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately while hot.
