Classic Reuben Sandwich Recipe

Step 1

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a cast iron pan, flat top, or griddle over medium to medium-high heat, and heat up a 1/3 pound of corned beef. This will take about 4-6 minutes in total, so be sure to move the meat around every minute or so. See chef notes.

Step 2

Next, melt 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and place on 2 slices of bread to toast, which takes about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the bread, add 1 more tablespoon of butter and heat until melted before flipping the bread over toasted side up.

Step 4

Immediately spread a ¼ cup of the dressing between both slices of bread.

Step 5

Next, layer on as followed, corned beef, 2 slices of swiss cheese, about a ½ cup of sauerkraut.

Step 6

Place the other toasted piece of bread with dressing on it to the top of the sandwich dressing side down and press down with a spatula.

Step 7

Cook the sandwich for 1 to 2 minutes per side once it is assembled, and then slice and serve.

Step 8

Repeat the process 3 more times for a total of 4 sandwiches. You can cook this all together at once as well.
