Steps:
- On medium-low heat, saute the sauerkraut, several grinds of black pepper and caraway seeds until very dry and just slightly browning on the tips. Add the corned beef, and mix together with two spatulas - pushing away from you with one while pressing down on the other to break up the corned beef further. Add the Swiss cheese and stir together.
- Butter one side of a slice of rye bread and place in an ungreased non-stick pan heated to medium-low. Add some more grated swiss cheese on the slice, then the warm filling on top of that. Add a spoonful of the creamy Russian dressing on top of the first layer, then the toasted piece of pumpernickel. Add a good slather of dressing on top of the toasted slice. Add another layer of the warm filling on top of the Russian dressing, along with a little pile of grated swiss cheese. Place the remaining slice of pumpernickel on top - outer layer buttered.
- Now for the fun part - place a heavy weight on the sandwich - I use my "kitchen brick" (an actual brick covered by tin-foil) on the sandwich, with a small piece of parchment paper between. After only a couple of minutes, remove the weight, carefully turn the sandwich and weight down again. Leave in the pan for a few minutes, or until the bread is toasted. If you have a big enough pan you can do two sandwiches at the same time if not you must repeat the process listed above.
- Cut the sandwich and serve with more of the Russian dressing on the side for dipping. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat.
- 2. Lightly butter one side of bread slices. Spread non-buttered sides with Thousand Island dressing. On 4 bread slices, layer 1 slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut and second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered sides out.
- 3. Grill sandwiches until both sides are golden brown, about 15 minutes per side. Serve hot.
- My Update Notes: I drained the sourkraut but didn't rinse it, because we like the tangy taste of the sourkraut. I buttered rye bread slices on one side and spread Thousand Island dressing on the other side. On the dressing side I placed a slice of swiss cheese, sliced Pastrami from the deli and then topped with sourkraut. I cooked them on my grill until the cheese was melted and the bread was nice and toasted. They were delicious! I only gave the four star rating because the sourkraut in the middle wasn't very warm. Next time I make these I will warm the sourkraut in the microwave first and maybe add another slice of swiss too! I made was to heat the sauerkraut in the microwave for 20 seconds before adding to the sandwich. I like my sandwich warmed all the way through. I would recommend keeping a good eye on your bread and toast it to your liking. If you like Rueben sandwiches you will love this one!

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 bread. A sturdy rye bread will hold up well to the sandwich's fillings and prevent it from getting soggy.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Swiss cheese is the traditional choice, but you can also use Gruyère, Havarti, or even cheddar.
- Make sure the sauerkraut is well-drained. Otherwise, it will make the sandwich too soggy.
- Use a good quality Thousand Island dressing. A homemade dressing will always taste better than a store-bought one.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
