Hi Robin! You asked about the difference between pastrami and corned beef. Both are brined for several days prior to cooking and therein lies the difference. Pastrami is traditionally smoked with low heat for several hours after being removed from the brine and corned beef is traditionally boiled/simmered for an hour or two after brining. Thanks for your quick and easy Reuben sandwich recipe!

A great recipe! I do one tiny thing differently for any sandwich I make that has cheese slices. I put one slice of cheese on the top and one slice on the bottom so when it melts the meat is surrounded by a cheesy envelope. It also helps hold the sandwich together!

Okay. Update! The loaf of rye bread I got in the mail was outstanding. I made the sandwich almost exactly as you did and it came out the way a Reuben sandwich should taste. That Russian dressing was killer and made the sanwich extra special. I can hardly wait to put it on a hamburger. Thank you.

Hello, Robin. I reviewed a number of on-line recipes for Reuben sandwiches. I chose yours, because of your recommendation to toast both sides of the rye bread, guidance on Russian dressing, etc. You did a great job, and the sandwiches were excellent, following the recipe exactly. My wife liked them, too. Her comment: "VERY good!" These were made with my home-made rye bread; I was anxious to employ them in Reuben sandwiches. THANKS for helping me to do so, so successfully!

Just made this. Amazingly delicious. Didn't have shallots-used green onions instead. Upon tasting the dressing, it seemed missing something for my taste ( though I've never had Russian dressing) - a bit of sweetness? Since it was also fairly thin, I added a couple tablespoons of Miracle Whip which added a touch of sweetness and made it a bit thicker. REALLY good! Liked the idea of toasting both sides of the bread-you're so right-no sogginess. I made the whole thing on the griddle of my stove. One thing I do to make things easier/faster is to butter the grill rather than the bread. Also assembled corned beef, swiss cheese and saurkraut on the grill, when my bread was toasted, added dressing to both pieces and slapped it together. Covering the meat, cheese and kraut with a concave glass lid, made the cheese melt that it even ran onto the grill and browned the edges. OMG. Thank you so much for this recipe and new ideas. Will be making this often. The dressing will be good on other kinds of sandwiches, as well. Had to subscribe.

To make a good homemade meal, we must put work into it. A good meal is made the hard way, but is worth it. Thank you for the great information and recipe. I learn best by seeing well made videos like yours. It's harder for me to learn by reading alone. Your version of Russian sauce is very nice. I used ⅛ teaspoon of Tabasco Sauce since I don't have any Sriracha. I also found that ¼ to ½ teaspoon Worcester sauce also works well. Both of these ingredients are very strong, and learned long ago to use them carefully. Even though I have a learning disability, your videos are easy to understand and learn from.

For St Patty's day I had to settle for cornbeef and swiss on a marble rye. Bread doesn't toast well in the microwave at work. Yes, cornbeef is slow cooked in the oven, crock pot or boiled, while pastrami is barbecued. Enjoy them both...

My favorite sandwich! I use the Claussen brand sauerkraut found in the refrigerator case a most groceries. I not only drain it, I squeeze it in my hand to remove all possible juice, then fluff it up before putting on the sandwich. Pastrami is just corned beef cured with lots of pepper and smoked. BTW, the “corn” in corned beef has nothing to do with actual corn. “Corning” is a term for salt curing meat. I like your technique of grill toasting both sides of the bread. I generally warm the meat and kraut with a low setting in the microwave.
@RockinRobinCooks6 жыл бұрын
