Ingredients
Scale
- For the Sandwich:
- 8 slices rye bread
- 1 pound sliced corned beef
- 1 cup sauerkraut (drained)
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- For the Russian Dressing:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Russian Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and relish. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Prep the Sauerkraut: Drain the sauerkraut well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a layer of Russian dressing on one side of 4 slices of rye bread. Add a layer of corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter the outside of each sandwich and place them on the skillet. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the sauerkraut is well-drained to prevent sogginess.
- Substitute Thousand Island dressing if Russian dressing is unavailable.
- Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version.
