Ingredients
- ½ lb (225 g) sliced corned beef (or try using pastrami)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) drained sauerkraut
- 2 tbsp chopped sweet onion
- 2 tbsp creamy Russian dressing
- 2 slices rye bread (or use sourdough bread in case of rye allergy)
- 1–3 slices Swiss cheese
- Chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp butter
Directions
- Combine the sauerkraut, onion, and parsley.
- Spread the dressing on two slices bread.
- Pile layers of corned beef, cheese, and sauerkraut mixture on one slice.
- Add second slice of bread.
- Butter the outside of the bread.
- Grill until lightly browned, roughly 5–10 minutes.
Notes
The Reuben has a "sister" sandwich, the Rachel, which is made with pastrami or turkey in place of corned beef (and sometimes coleslaw in place of sauerkraut).
A Georgia Reuben is a Reuben made with turkey and coleslaw instead of sauerkraut.
A Reuben served in a Jewish delicatessen would not contain cheese or butter, as dietary laws forbid meat and dairy in the same dish.
