Something we might as well just get out there now, we love Reubens! Okay, any open faced sandwich with melted cheese with be warmly greeted. But, a Reuben is the favored in this kitchen. Unfortunately, I haven’t had very many delicious ones out to eat lately. People be slacking on the corned beef front. I’d like to let you all in on just how easy it can be. You can perfect this delicious sandwich and amaze guests right from home!
You’ll Need:
-Rye Bread
-Swiss Cheese
-Russian Dressing
-Sauerkraut (or coleslaw)
-Corned Beef
-Paprika (optional)
Lets do this: Turn on broiler. Medium toast your bread. If corned beef is cold, zap it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Spray a non-stick cookie sheet. Place bread and layer on in this order- 1. Russian dressing 2. Kraut or Slaw 3. Corned Beef 4. Swiss! Sprinkle fairy dust (er, paprika, but have fun, pretend its fairy dust) on the top and place under broiler for 3 minutes (or until appropriately melted) You gotta use a steak knife and fork, I like to dip in extra dressing also.
I don’t keep dressings in my fridge (except caesar) I make my own! they’re so easy people! and it takes 2 minutes with all things you most likely have in your fridge already.
RUSSIAN:
-2 tbs Ketchup
-2 tbs Mayo
-1 tbs sweet relish
-dash Worcestershire sauce
-quick pour of white wine and/or apple cider vinegar
-squeeze of liquid sugar or honey
-salt & pepper
whisk all that up and you will have a tasty russian dressing. Make your own dressings! Let the spirit move you.
one more thing-if you dont have corned beef (really, who does?) try pastrami or roast beef!
