Classic Reuben Sandwich With Russian Dressing | Rockin Robin Cooks

[@shermanmathieu6981]

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!

[@lisachicola7513]

Fabulous! We will have it for lunch!

[@JKyfdo]

Hi Robin, I am from Scotland and I made your Reuben sandwich, it was awesome and it's one of the best sandwiches i have ever had, thank you. Will definitely make it again 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RockinRobinCooks]

So glad you enjoyed this sandwich! Thanks for getting back to me as well!

[@jeanclark1815]

I use pumpernickel bread for my Reubens. Also use corn beef. Pumpernickel is my favorite bread!!! The Reuben is my favorite sandwich of all time!!!

[@saetmusic]

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!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Sounds good Joe! Thanks for watching.

[@RaymondCore]

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.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

Robin is rocking it on the Reuben sammich!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thanks!

[@leysmed]

I've never made Reuben sandwiches before but I love them. I bought five flat cut corned beef briskets over St Patrick's Day and froze them. Tomorrow I'm going to have a go at making some sandwiches using your technique. Thanks for your easy to follow instructions on how to make cheese sandwiches.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

I bet those sandwiches turned out great! Thanks for stopping in to comment.

[@froggie6608]

I make them just like you do, with the exception of toasting both sides of the bread. That's a great idea, I will do that from now on. Thanks Robin.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

You are welcome! Glad to be of help!

[@MrBadger]

Thank you for this video! I'm making pastrami "from scratch" with a corned beef brisket this weekend and I got all the ingredients to make the Russian dressing and Reuben sandwiches. What I didn't have is a technique for actually making the sandwiches, but now I do. Reminds me of how my mom makes grilled cheese sandwiches.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thanks for the comment Robbie! Enjoy your Reuben sandwich!

[@mathewellerbeck9017]

My mother is an excellent cook. Her name is also Robin. I knew id find a good video when i clicked on yours. Keep it up. Our younger generations need to keep these classics going!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thanks Mathew!

[@perzuki-9218]

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!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Duane, glad you enjoyed the Reuben sandwiches! The fact that you used your homemade rye bread must have made them out of this world delicious!! Thanks for stopping in to comment!

That is one hell of a Reuben! I can only enjoy these at home when I make them myself. Restaurants always make them soggy, and scrimp on corned beef!

I haven't found fresh ground horseradish anywhere in Bangkok but I just got some mail-order powdered horseradish to make the Russian dressing (also not available here) and I can hardly wait for the loaf of dark rye bread I ordered. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. Good luck on your channel.

[@beverleeperezgeorgette1951]

yummy and the Russian dressing sounds heavenly. .

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Beverlee, I think you will love this one! The Russian dressing is really nice especially with the diced onion. Thanks for watching!

[@oldtimepamoldtimepam1537]

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.

[@MrK3vinR]

This looks FANTASTIC! Omg my tastebuds are doing flips !! Love it! I really enjoy your channel, Robin!

[@kanamichelle7404]

I wanted to make a rueben sandwich the other day, so I went to the store for ingredients, got home and realized I had forgotten the corned beef. Back to the store with my forgetful self! I am glad I watched this video, because I was thinking I should use Thousand Island dressing, but now I am going to make the Russian dressing. Great video. I love videos where there isn’t a lot of chatter, and the person just gets right down to it. Mission accomplished!

[@wadessirenvideos6750]

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.

Oh, thanks, Robin....I made it this afternoon. I did the Russian dressing per your recipe, yes, even the shallot. We have a mustard that has a bit of horseradish in it, so used that in with all the other ingredients. Wow, that dressing really makes the sandwich. I also diced some green cabbage, added some Russian dressing to that and put that on the sandwich, too. Oh, my just wonderful!!! p.s. used pastrami instead of corned beef.

That looks like a great Reuben. Picture perfect. I like your homemade dressing. Need to try it out. Bet that would make for a good spread on many types of sandwiches. 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...

[@LandNfan]

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.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Norman, my understanding of the difference between pastrami and corned beef is that while both are cured in a brined in salt water, pastrami is then smoked while corned beef is boiled. Toasting both sides of the bread is a good way to go. Thanks for watching!
