Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb thinly sliced corned beef
8 slice Swiss cheese
1 jar(s) sauerkraut
8 slice dark rye bread or marbled rye bread
1 c Thousand Island dressing
6 Tbsp butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. If preparing your own corned beef, you will want to slow cook a 3 pound flat cut corned brisket on high for about 6 hours.
  • 2. Add a dark stout beer; one bottle will be more than enough. It gives your corned beef a wonderful flavor.
  • 3. If you cook your own corned beef you will want to completely chill it so you can slice it thin. I cook my corned beef a couple days before I plan on using it.
  • 4. Slice the corned beef into thin slices.
  • 5. Grill or heat up your corned beef before assembling the sandwiches.
  • 6. To assemble the Rueben, lay out the rye bread and brush one side of each slice with butter.
  • 7. Turn over bread and spread both pieces of the bread with a layer of Thousand Island dressing.
  • 8. Lay a piece of Swiss cheese on each piece of bread.
  • 9. Then put desired amount of corned beef on one of the slices of bread.
  • 10. Followed by about 1/3 to 1/2 cup sauerkraut.
  • 11. Put the other slice of bread and cheese on top and grill until golden brown on either side.
  • 12. Be very careful not to overcook. You don't want to burn your sandwich.
  • 13. Now cut in half, serve and enjoy!
