Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Russian Dressing

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

For the Sandwich

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 slices rye sandwich bread
  • 1 cup suerkraut
  • 1/2 lb corned beef, sliced
  • 4 slices swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Make the Russian dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika.
  2. Make the sandwich: On a cutting board, spread ½ tablespoon of butter on one side of each slide of bread. Flip the bread slices over so that the buttered side is face down. Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on each slice. Add ¼ pound corned beef to 2 of the slices of bread. Top the corned beef with ½ cup of sauerkraut and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side out.
  3. Cook the sandwiches: Heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add the sandwiches and cook, without moving, until golden brown, 2–3 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until the bread is golden brown and cheese has melted, 2–3 minutes more.
  4. Serve: Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half. Serve immediately.
  5. Enjoy!
