    Savory, melty, and irresistibly tangy, the Reuben Sandwich is a timeless deli classic. It layers corned beef, Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and a generous smear of Russian or Thousand Island dressing between slices of hearty rye bread—then grills it to golden, crispy perfection. Rich, bold, and deeply satisfying, it’s the ultimate comfort food with a punch of flavor in every bite.

    Origin Reuben Sandwich

    The Reuben sandwich’s exact origin is debated some say Omaha, Nebraska; others say New York City. What’s certain is it gained popularity in Jewish delis across the U.S. in the early 20th century and has been a menu staple ever since.

    What I Love About This Recipe

    The contrast of crispy grilled bread, gooey cheese, and the briny bite of sauerkraut makes every bite bold and delicious. It’s indulgent, but so worth it.

    The Reuben Sandwich is a classic American deli favorite, featuring layers of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and creamy Russian or Thousand Island dressing, all grilled between slices of buttery rye bread. Crispy on the outside and melty on the inside, it’s a savory, tangy, and utterly satisfying sandwich perfect for lunch or a hearty dinner.

    Ingredients

    • 2 slices rye bread (seeded or unseeded)

    • 3 –4 oz sliced corned beef or pastrami

    • 2 slices Swiss cheese

    • 1/4 cup sauerkraut, well-drained

    • 2 tbsp Russian or Thousand Island dressing

    • 1 tbsp butter, softened

    Directions

    • Lay out the bread slices. Spread dressing on one side of each slice.
    • Layer Swiss cheese, corned beef, and sauerkraut on one slice. Top with the other slice, dressing side down.
    • Butter the outside of each slice of bread.
    • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
    • Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
    • Slice in half and serve hot.

    Notes

    • For extra crunch, grill with a panini press or cast iron skillet.
    • Try turkey instead of corned beef for a lighter “Rachel” sandwich.
    • Make it spicy with a smear of horseradish or spicy mustard.
