Questions about Reuben sandwich
What goes in a Reuben sandwich?
The classic combination is rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing. The bread is usually buttered and the sandwich toasted until crisp and the cheese melts.
How do you make a Reuben sandwich in a frying pan?
Butter the outside of the rye bread and layer dressing, corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut and Swiss cheese between the slices. Cook over medium-low heat for about 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing lightly, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
How do you stop a Reuben sandwich from going soggy?
Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly and pat it dry, then spread the dressing thinly on the bread rather than piling it on. Toasting the bread in butter before assembling also helps it stay crisp.
Can you use pastrami instead of corned beef in a Reuben?
Yes. Pastrami is a common swap and gives the sandwich a pepperier, smokier flavour; use thin slices and warm them in the pan before layering.
What can you serve with a Reuben sandwich?
Dill pickles, coleslaw or a crisp green salad cut through the rich, salty filling. It is also often served with chips or a bowl of soup.
How should you store leftover Reuben sandwich?
It is best eaten straight after cooking, while the bread is crisp. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a sealed container and reheat in a frying pan over low heat until hot throughout; the bread will be crisper than if reheated in a microwave.
Can you make a Reuben without sauerkraut?
You can replace it with drained, finely sliced pickled cabbage, though sauerkraut gives the sandwich its characteristic tang. If using plain cabbage, briefly sauté it with a splash of vinegar to add some sharpness.
