I love sandwiches. My hubby doesn’t. The compromise? Reuben sandwich. A reuben is so much more than just a sandwich, especially this one. The Russian dressing spread, good swiss cheese, and freshly sliced corned beef brisket makes this reuben one of the best ones you will ever taste.

From Simply Recipes
Serves 2
Ingredients
Sandwich
- 1 tbsp of butter, softened
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1/2lb corned beef brisket, thinly sliced (get this fresh, from your local butcher or deli counter)
- 1/4lb sauerkraut
- 1/4 cup Russian Dressing
Russian Dressing
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 1/2 tsp horseradish
- 1/2 tsp Worchestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Recipe
- Butter one side of two slices of bread, and place the buttered-side down on a large piece of wax paper on a flat surface. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese, and then divide half of the corned beef among them.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture from the sauerkraut as you can. Divide the sauerkraut among the sandwiches, and top each with one tablespoon of Russian dressing. Add another layer of corned beef and a second slice of Swiss cheese to each sandwich. Top with the remaining bread slices; butter the side facing out.
- Heat a medium or large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches on one side until the bread is golden brown. Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwiches over and finish cooking on the second side. Cut the sandwiches in half before serving.
jessica, i love sandwiches too! i remember getting the turkey reuben sandwiches all the time from my favorite deli in ann arbor called Amers. they would have homemade bread with turkey, coleslaw, cheese, and russian dressing. it was melt in your mouth oh so good!
Oh that looks so good, like the cheese in there. In my city we have smoke meat sandwiches and it is served with tons of mustard, no cheese. This would be a cool twits.
Fantastic. Love the meats. The Russian dressing. My kind of Sammy.
I love the new look — very streamlined and easy on the eyes! And I love reubens too…you’re right, it is so much more than a sandwich!
Congrats on moving to your own domain! I edited my blogroll with your new link.
I like your new site – it looks very sophisticated. Your Reuben sandwich looks amazing!
My guys would go crazy for this sandwich!
Your site looks fantastic
Reubens are pretty tasty. We have a good sandwich deli by our place that makes the biggest reuben and pastrami sandwiches. Tall, messy and good. Also, grats on your new design. It looks great!:-)
I love reubens and the whole shebang of flavors here.
I absolutely love a good Reuben, nice! Your new site looks terrific!
Jess! I’m loving the new site; very clean and nicely laid out.
I know Jas loves a good reuben as much as I do. This looks PERFECT.
