Tips:

  • Choose the right corned beef: Look for a brisket that is at least 3 pounds and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Cook the corned beef slowly and carefully: The best way to achieve tender and flavorful corned beef is to cook it low and slow. Simmer the brisket in a large pot filled with water, vegetables, and spices for at least 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  • Make your own Russian dressing: Russian dressing is a key component of a Reuben sandwich, and it's easy to make at home. Simply combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, sweet pickle relish, and a few spices in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Use high-quality bread: The bread you use for your Reuben sandwich should be sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings, but not so thick that it overpowers the other flavors. Rye bread is a classic choice, but you can also use sourdough or pumpernickel.
  • Pile on the fillings: Don't be shy with the fillings! A good Reuben sandwich should have plenty of corned beef, Russian dressing, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.

Conclusion:

The Reuben sandwich is a classic deli sandwich that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It's a delicious and hearty sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a homemade Reuben sandwich that is just as good as, if not better than, the ones you get at your favorite deli.
