Ingredients
  • 1 cup corned beef, very thinly sliced
  • 2 slices rye bread with caraway seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Russian Dressing
  • ½ cup sauerkraut
  • 1 thick slice Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
  1. Place thinly sliced corned beef in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with a little water or some of the reserved broth it cooked in. Cover tightly and microwave until heated trough about 1 minute for 1 serving.
  2. Butter both outsides of bread and lay it open on a cutting board. Coat each inside of the bread with about 1 tablespoon of the Russian dressing. Layer the ½ of the slices with some of the corned beef. Divide the sauerkraut evenly over the meat, then top the sauerkraut with the slices of cheese. Place the remaining bread slices on top, dressing sides down.
  3. Heat a heavy large skillet over medium heat. When hot, place as many sandwiches as you are making that can in the pan in, then cover with aluminum foil and place another heavy skillet on top. Cook for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately, with a dill pickle.
