1

Make the Russian Dressing

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon pickle relish, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined. Set aside for later.

2

Prepare the Corned Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of thinly sliced corned beef and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3

Toast the Rye Bread

Take 8 slices of artisanal rye bread and lightly toast them. You want them to be crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside. Keep an eye on them, as rye bread can toast quickly.

4

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread Russian dressing on one side of each slice of toasted rye bread. On 4 of the slices, layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, Russian dressing side down.

5

Grill the Sandwich

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to prevent sticking. Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

6

Serve and Enjoy!

Remove the Reuben Sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two. Cut them in half if desired, and serve them with a side of pickles or chips. Get ready to impress your taste buds!
