Reuben Sandwich
The Reuben is a grilled deli classic of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on rye bread. Buttery, tangy, and melty, it is a hearty, satisfying sandwich. Griddled until crisp and golden, it is deli comfort at its best.

💡 Chef's tip
Griddle it low and slow like a grilled cheese so the cheese fully melts and the corned beef warms through before the rye burns.
Draining and drying the sauerkraut well before assembling is the key to a Reuben that grills up crisp instead of soggy from excess moisture.
