PASTRAMI SANDWICH RECIPE
Steps:
- Start by adding your onions to a small pan with 1 tbsp of butter. Saute over medium/high heat until onions are golden and translucent.
- Place sliced pastrami on a microwave-safe plate and heat in 30-second increments until heated through.
- Lightly butter the outsides of all four pieces of bread.
- On the inside of the bread, build your sandwiches by spreading dijon mustard over each slice of bread, then layering 1 piece of cheese, hot pastrami, grilled onions, and one more slice of cheese.
- OPTIONAL - if you want your toppings heated up, add those now too. (I prefer to add them a the end)
- Place remaining 2 pieces of bread on top of the cheese, buttered side facing up.
- Place two sandwiches on an indoor grill or in a frying pan and cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- OPTIONAL - Open the sandwich up and top with your favorite toppings.
- Serve immediately.

HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICH
Steps:
- Heat a flattop grill or pan on medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Set the buttered side of bread on the flattop. Add provolone to one slice and Swiss to the other slice. Grill until bread is toasted and cheese has melted, approximately 5 minutes, then remove from the flattop. Meanwhile, place pastrami on the flattop in a pile and the sauerkraut on the flattop in a separate pile. Grill both until warm, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then flip and warm the other side. Add mayonnaise to both pieces of bread, then add mustard to one half. Place half the pastrami on one slice and the other half on the other slice. Add sauerkraut to one half and flip the other slice on top. Cut sandwich in half and enjoy!
Tips:
- To make the pastrami sandwiches even more flavorful, marinate the pastrami in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before cooking. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and make it extra juicy and delicious.
- For crispy onion rings, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the onion rings. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is not hot enough, the onion rings will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- To make the quick pickles, use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers. This will help them pickle evenly and quickly. You can also add other vegetables to the pickles, such as carrots, radishes, or jalapenos.
- Assemble the pastrami sandwiches just before serving. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy. You can also toast the bread before assembling the sandwiches for an extra crispy touch.
Conclusion:
These pastrami sandwiches with onion rings and quick pickles are the perfect combination of flavors and textures. The tender and flavorful pastrami, the crispy onion rings, and the tangy pickles come together to create a sandwich that is sure to satisfy. Whether you're serving them for a casual lunch or a special occasion, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit.
