Grilled Reuben Sandwich

Grilled Reuben sandwich is one of my favourites for summer, especially with a side of chips and pickles. This recipe features corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and a tangy Russian dressing between two slices of golden grilled rye bread.

Info and tips for grilled Reuben sandwich

The homemade Russian dressing is very tangy with a slight kick of spice from the garlic chili sauce. If you prefer to have your Russian dressing more on the sweet side, the you can sub out the garlic chili sauce for ketchup! Traditionally the Reuben usually gets served on rye bread but this sandwich is delicious on any bread you have on hand.

Frying the corned beef for about 30 seconds each side helps warm it up and also get a little charr on it. You don’t have to do this step, but it definitely improves the sandwich!
