Time 55m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 loaf unseeded and unsliced Jewish Rye bread
2 pounds corned beef, sliced (see Cook's Note)
12 ounces Russian dressing, recipe follows
12 ounces sauerkraut
12 slices Swiss cheese
4 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup plus 2 to 3 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons chopped curly parsley leaves
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced Spanish onion
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced dill pickle
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated horseradish
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the corned beef with a little water, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and steam it in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, put the whole loaf of rye bread (unwrapped) into the oven. Bake the bread until the crust is very crunchy, about 15 minutes. Set the bread on the counter and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  • When the rye bread is cool enough to handle place it on a cutting board. Hold the bread knife at a 45-degree angle and cut 12 slices.
  • Take the corned beef out of the oven and unwrap it. Spread each slice of bread with Russian dressing. Layer half of the slices with corned beef, sauerkraut and slices of Swiss cheese, then top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread (dressing-side down).
  • Heat 2 large heavy skillets over medium heat. Brush the bread with butter. Put the sandwiches in the pans and weight them with a lid or heat proof bowl topped with something heavy. Cook until the first sides are crisp and golden about 7 minutes then flip the sandwiches. Cook until the second sides are also well toasted and the cheese is melted. Lift the sandwiches onto a cutting board. Cut each in half diagonally and serve.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, parsley, onion, pickle, lemon juice, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and mix well.

This sandwich is too messy for me. I prefer a sandwich that I can eat without getting my hands dirty.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sandwich didn't turn out as good as the pictures.

I'm not a huge fan of rye bread, but it's the perfect bread for this sandwich.

I like to serve this sandwich with a side of potato chips or coleslaw.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover pastrami or corned beef.

I love the combination of flavors in this sandwich. The salty pastrami, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Russian dressing are a perfect match.

I love that this recipe uses homemade Russian dressing. It's so much better than the store-bought stuff.

I followed the recipe exactly, and my sandwich turned out perfectly. The bread was crispy, the meat was tender, and the sauerkraut was tangy. Yum!

This sandwich is a beast! It's huge and incredibly satisfying. I could barely finish it, but it was worth every bite.
