Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups thinly sliced onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup drained sauerkraut
1/2 Granny Smith apple, grated coarse
3 tablespoons water
unsalted butter, softened, for buttering bread
8 large 1/2-inch-thick slices rye bread
1 large garlic clove, halved
1 large dill pickle, sliced paper-thin
3/4 pound thinly sliced chilled cooked corned beef (about half a cooked 3 1/2-pound corned beef; recipe follows)
1 cup coarsely grated Swiss cheese
mustard as an accompaniment
Corned beef:
a 3-to 4-pound corned beef brisket

Steps:

  • Serve sandwiches with mustard.

Tips:

  • For the most flavorful corned beef, choose a brisket that is at least 3 pounds.
  • To ensure the corned beef is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the corned beef for doneness by inserting a fork into the center of the meat. If the fork comes out easily, the corned beef is cooked.
  • While the corned beef is cooking, you can make the caramelized onions and sauerkraut. To make the caramelized onions, slice the onions thinly and cook them in a pan with butter over medium heat until they are golden brown and caramelized.
  • To make the sauerkraut, rinse the sauerkraut under cold water and then drain it. Add the sauerkraut to a pan with butter and cook it over medium heat until it is heated through.
  • Once the corned beef, caramelized onions, and sauerkraut are cooked, assemble the sandwiches. To assemble the sandwiches, place a slice of corned beef on a piece of rye bread. Top the corned beef with a scoop of caramelized onions and a scoop of sauerkraut.
  • Add a slice of Swiss cheese to the sandwich, if desired. Close the sandwich with another slice of rye bread.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for later.

Conclusion:

Corned beef on rye with caramelized onions and sauerkraut is a classic Jewish deli sandwich that is enjoyed by people all over the world. The combination of the salty corned beef, the sweet caramelized onions, and the tangy sauerkraut makes for a delicious and satisfying sandwich.
