Reuben Sandwich Our Way image

This is how we make our Reuben sandwiches at our house. They're hearty, messy, usually require the aid of a knife and fork, and are absolutely delicious! We think it's because we make our own dressing... you can call it Thousand Island or French, whathaveyou. All we know is that we gladly lick it off our fingers when it dribbles. :) It's also a Pantry Challenge recipe, made with items we already had at home.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup mayonnaise (Best Foods or Hellmann's or Vegenaise)
1/4 cup catsup
1/2 teaspoon dill relish
1/2 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes, to taste
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice (we use both, to taste, the balsamic really adds nice flavor) or 1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (we use both, to taste, the balsamic really adds nice flavor)
black pepper, to taste
2 slices dark rye bread (caraway or not, it's up to you, but we prefer it without)
3 teaspoons butter
3 -4 ounces thinly sliced deli pastrami
1/3 cup sauerkraut, drained well (we prefer Bubbie's naturally fermented kraut)
1 -2 ounce swiss cheese or 1 -2 ounce monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, make the dressing: combine the mayonnaise, catsup, relishes, onion, garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper to taste; set aside.
  • Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in the pan.
  • Assemble the sandwich: on top of the bread, place the sliced pastrami; top meat with a couple of tablespoons of the dressing; then spread the sauerkraut over, add some more dressing, top with the cheese, then place the other slice of bread- buttered side up- on top (this arrangement helps keep the dressing from soaking the bread too much).
  • Cover the grilling sandwich with a lid (a Reverware saucepan lid works well for this) and let grill for 2 to 3 minutes, checking to make sure that the bread does not burn- the idea is to heat the air underneath the lid and melt the cheese easier as you're also browning the bread.
  • Carefully turn the sandwich, re-cover, and grill other side. (I say "carefully" because, depending on how much of the fillings you put in, this step can get a little messy -- ).
  • Cut the completed grilled sandwich in two and serve with the extra dressing for dipping, along with a dill pickle and potato chips or potato salad.

I'm not a fan of sauerkraut, so I omitted it from the recipe. The sandwich was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with sauerkraut.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made a meatless Reuben sandwich using tempeh instead of corned beef. It was delicious! I highly recommend this recipe for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own Reuben sandwich. I like to experiment with different types of bread, meat, and cheese. I've even made a Reuben sandwich with pulled pork instead of corned beef. It was amazing!

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, and my sandwich still turned out great. I used turkey instead of corned beef, and I added a slice of avocado. It was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, and my sandwich turned out perfectly. The bread was crispy, the meat was tender, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I highly recommend this recipe.
