Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh sauerkraut, thinly sliced corned beef, and a good quality Swiss cheese. These ingredients will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the Reuben sandwich.
  • Don't overcook the corned beef: Corned beef is a relatively tender meat, so it doesn't need to be cooked for long. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality Thousand Island dressing: Thousand Island dressing is a key ingredient in a Reuben sandwich. Make sure to use a dressing that you like the taste of.
  • Assemble the sandwich correctly: The order of the ingredients is important in a Reuben sandwich. The bread should be on the bottom, followed by the corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. The top slice of bread should go on last.
  • Grill or pan-fry the sandwich: Grilling or pan-frying the sandwich will help to melt the cheese and make the bread crispy.
