ingredients for Reuben Sandwich
You will need:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Worchestire
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup salted butter, softened
- 8 slices marble rye bread
- 8 slices swiss cheese
- 3/4 pound corned beef
- 2 cups sauerkraut
Substitutions and Additions
Worchestire Sauce: If you don’t have any on hand, that’s okay! Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of granulated sugar into 2 teaspoons of soy sauce. Add in 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice and add in a dash of hot sauce (any kind you like).
Rye BREAD: If you’d like to use another type of bread, we suggest sourdough as a great alternative.
Pickles: Some people LOVE dill pickles on their sandwich or even on the side. Give it a try!
Pastrami: Add some yummy pastrami to your sandwich! It’s so good!
How to Make this Reuben Sandwich recipe
STEP ONE: Use a small mixing bowl to whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, salt, pepper, Worchestershire sauce, and lemon juice to make the Russian dressing.
STEP TWO: Butter one side of the sliced rye bread.
PRO TIP: Use bigger slices of bread for this meal! It’ll taste better and allow you to put more toppings on.
STEP THREE: Spread a spoonful (or however much you want) of Russian dressing on the other side of each slice of bread.
STEP FOUR: Make sure your buttered sides are out and the dressing sides are in. For each sandwich layer on one piece of bread, 1 slice of cheese, several slices of corned beef, 1/2 cup of sauerkraut, another piece of cheese, and top it off with a second piece of bread. (Repeat to make 4 sandwiches).
PRO TIP: The best way to get your cheese to melt is if you let it sit out for 15 to 20 minutes before you start making these.
STEP FIVE: Heat on a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place each sandwich into the skillet, you can cook more than one at a time if they fit into the skillet. Cook on the first side until the bread has browned and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook it on the other side.
PRO TIP: As you cook your sandwich, gently press it down. This will help you eat it later on – you don’t want it too tall!
STEP SIX: Cook your sandwich until both sides are browned, the cheese is all melted and the sandwich is completely heated through. You might need to lower the heat to make sure the cheese melts and the sandwich heats through without the bread burning.
storage
IN THE FRIDGE: Store your sandwich in an airtight container or a plastic zip bag for 1 to 2 days.
We absolutely love to make Reuben’s for lunch at my house. These are hearty enough to be a full meal or a nice big lunch! Corned beef is juicy and flavorful, and blended with melted cheese and yummy grilled bread – it’s absolutely perfect.
