There’s something timeless about a perfectly constructed corned beef sandwich. It’s a symphony of flavors and textures that can transport you to your favorite deli with just one bite.
For me, it all started during a visit to New York City. I sampled what was touted as the best corned beef sandwich in town, and it was love at first bite. The tender, flavorful corned beef stacked high on rye bread, dressed with just enough mustard and a tangy pickle on the side, was unforgettable. Inspired, I’ve perfected my own version to share with fellow enthusiasts. Suitable for anyone who loves a hearty sandwich, this recipe is surprisingly simple, with a difficulty level of easy.
- 1 pound of thinly sliced corned beef,
- 2 slices of rye bread,
- 2 tablespoons of mustard,
- 1/4 cup of sauerkraut,
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese,
- 1 tablespoon of butter,
Start by gathering all the ingredients you’ll need to make this delicious sandwich.
Lightly butter the rye bread slices and toast them until they are just golden brown.
Spread mustard on one slice of toasted bread. On the same slice, layer the Swiss cheese, followed by a generous amount of corned beef, and top it with sauerkraut. Place the second slice of bread on top.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Place the sandwich in the skillet, pressing down gently. Cook until the bread is toasted and crispy, and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side.
Cut the sandwich in half, plate, and serve immediately. Pairing it with a dill pickle on the side enhances the flavor experience.
