Gordon Ramsay Reuben Sandwich Recipe
This Gordon Ramsay Reuben Sandwich Recipe is a fantastic choice. It features a crisp, buttery exterior and a very delicatessen inspired layering of savory meats.
Ingredients
- 2 thick slices of marble rye bread for the base.
- 6 ounces of thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami.
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese for a nutty melt.
- 1/2 cup of sauerkraut drained very well today.
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter softened.
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise for the dressing.
- 1 teaspoon of ketchup for a tiny bit of sweet.
- 1 teaspoon of prepared horseradish for the kick.
- 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for salt.
- A tiny pinch of smoked paprika for the color today.
- 1 large dill pickle for a crunchy side now.
Instructions
Mix the Zesty Dressing
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ketchup, horseradish, and Worcestershire. Stir until the pink sauce is very smooth today.
Butter the Rye Bread
- Spread the soft butter on one side of every bread slice. This side will touch the hot pan for a very golden crust now.
Layer the Savory Cheese
- Place the bread butter-side down on your board. Place one slice of Swiss cheese on the dry side of the bread today.
Pile the Corned Beef
- Add a thick layer of corned beef on top of the cheese. Make sure the meat is spread evenly so the sandwich is flat now.
Add the Tangy Sauerkraut
- Squeeze the extra water out of the sauerkraut and pile it onto the meat. This adds a very sharp and juicy crunch today.
Top with More Cheese
- Place the second slice of Swiss cheese and the remaining bread slice on top. The buttered side must be facing up now.
Grill Until Very Golden
- Place the sandwich in a medium-hot skillet. Cook for four minutes on every side until the cheese is very melty today.
Slice and Serve Hot
- Use your serrated knife to cut the sandwich on a diagonal. Serve with a cold dill pickle while the bread is very crunchy now.
Notes
- Always drain the sauerkraut well so the bread does not get soggy today.
- Use a heavy pan to press the sandwich down for a much better melt.
- Cook over medium heat so the cheese melts before the bread burns now.
- Use pastrami if you love a much more smoky and peppery flavor today.
- Add a splash of hot sauce to the dressing for a very spicy kick.
- Use a high-quality marble rye for a much more beautiful look.
- Serve with a side of potato chips for a classic deli experience today.
