Crafting a Reuben Sandwich at home is a delightful culinary adventure that brings together a symphony of flavors and textures. Imagine sinking your teeth into perfectly grilled rye bread, giving way to layers of juicy corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and gooey Swiss cheese, all brought together by a zesty homemade dressing. This beloved sandwich has roots in American deli culture but can easily be recreated in your kitchen for lunch gatherings, cozy dinners, or casual game nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 pound corned beef (thinly sliced)
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1¼ cups drained sauerkraut
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream (or more mayo)
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon grated onion
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • Vegetable oil or light olive oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, grated onion, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper until smooth.
  2. Warm corned beef gently to enhance flavor and tenderness.
  3. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. On the other side of half the slices, generously spread the prepared dressing.
  4. Layer corned beef on four slices of bread followed by sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. Top with remaining slices.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat with additional butter and oil. Grill the sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and cheese melts (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  6. Let rest for a minute before slicing diagonally and serving.
