The story behind
Hey there! I'm so excited to share this recipe with you. The Reuben is one of those iconic sandwiches that makes you feel like you're sitting in a real New York deli. There are so many stories about its origin—from a poker player in Nebraska to a restaurant owner in Manhattan—but one thing is certain: it's a perfect balance of flavors. I love making this for a relaxed weekend dinner when you're craving something hearty and soulful. I highly recommend serving it with a big sour pickle on the side and a cold dark ale or a black cherry soda to drink. It's the ultimate comfort food!
Instructions
-
1Butter one side of each bread slice. This side will go face-down on the skillet.
-
2On the other side, spread a generous amount of Russian dressing on both slices.
-
3Assemble the sandwich by layering a slice of cheese, a generous heap of meat, the sauerkraut, and another slice of cheese to keep everything together.
-
4Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in. Cover it for a couple of minutes to help the cheese melt properly.
-
5Once the bread is golden brown and crispy, carefully flip it and toast the other side.
-
6Serve hot, sliced in half, with a pickle wedge on the side for that perfect tangy finish.
