TOP-RATED REUBEN SANDWICH



Top-Rated Reuben Sandwich image

The Reuben is the epitome of the great deli sandwiches... every ingredient is important as well as how it's prepared. This is how we make our own Reuben, and we've been told it's the best in the Northwest. It takes making your own ingredients in several cases, but we certainly feel it's worth the trip, as have our fans.

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices rye bread (Our personal favorite is dill rye.)
2 slices swiss cheese (It depends on the maker, and doesn't necessarily need to be expensive or imported.)
4 ounces corned beef, pre-heated (Get the best you can... which in our opinion is Incredible Corned Beef)
1 ounce sauerkraut, drained (We like AB's version of homemade sauerkraut.)
1 tablespoon Russian salad dressing (The original was Russian, but we like Louie Dressing (For Seafood Salads or Reuben Sandwiches))
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat your grill to about 325 degrees F. (That's just about medium for many burners, but it also depends on if your stove is gas, electric, glass-topped, or a number of other factors -- experimenting is the surest way to find out.).
  • Spread outside of each slice of rye with soft butter, about 1 Tbls per side (Scrape it thin -- too much butter makes browning more difficult and reduces crispness.).
  • Place bread on grill butter side down, and put 1 slice Swiss on each side.
  • Pre-heat the corned beef on a very low setting in the microwave or heat it briefly on the grill, but DON'T OVERCOOK! You want to heat, not dry out. Layer the corned beef on 1 side.
  • Heat sauerkraut on grill, but do not brown. When it steams, it's ready.
  • When cheese melts, remove sandwich from heat.
  • Spread Louie Dressing onto side with cheese only. (This stops it from soaking into the warm bread and making it soggy.).
  • Put sauerkraut onto corned beef & roughly make an even layer.
  • Close sandwich, salt if you like (we do) and cut as desired. (We served it with a homemade dill pickle spear and a bit of salad.).
  • Serve it hot!

REUBEN SANDWICH RECIPE BY TASTY



Reuben Sandwich Recipe by Tasty image

It's reuben time! Made with homemade Russian dressing, savory corned beef, Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and rye bread, then toasted until crisp and melty, this is a serious sandwich.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Lunch

Time 16m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon pickle relish
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 slices rye sandwich bread
1 cup suerkraut
½ lb corned beef, sliced
4 slices swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Make the Russian dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika.
  • Make the sandwich: On a cutting board, spread ½ tablespoon of butter on one side of each slide of bread. Flip the bread slices over so that the buttered side is face down. Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on each slice. Add ¼ pound corned beef to 2 of the slices of bread. Top the corned beef with ½ cup of sauerkraut and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side out.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add the sandwiches and cook, without moving, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until the bread is golden brown and cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes more.
  • Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for fresh, flavorful bread, thinly sliced corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Swiss cheese.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter is what makes the sandwich golden brown and crispy. Use a generous amount, but don't overdo it or the sandwich will be greasy.
  • Cook the sandwich in a hot skillet. A hot skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the bread and melt the cheese quickly. Don't overcrowd the skillet or the sandwiches will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. A Reuben sandwich is best enjoyed hot and fresh. If you are making the sandwich ahead of time, wrap it in foil and store it in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

The Reuben sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's a delicious and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of salty corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, creamy Swiss cheese, and buttery rye bread, the Reuben is a sandwich that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the Reuben sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
