Ingredients
- 1 recipe Junior's Russian Dressing
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 slices rye bread
- Four 1-ounce slices Swiss cheese
- 3 ounces very thinly sliced lean corned beef (about 10 slices)
- 3 ounces very thinly sliced lean pastrami (about 10 slices)
- 1/2 cup drained fresh sauerkraut
Instructions
- 1
Make the Russian Dressing and refrigerate until needed.
- 2
Butter one side of both slices of bread.
- 3
Melt the rest of the butter on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 4
Place both slices of bread, buttered side down, on the hot griddle.
- 5
Top each with 2 slices of cheese.
- 6
Microwave the corned beef and pastrami, in separate stacks, on high, for about 1 minute, just until the meat begins to steam (do not overheat).
- 7
When the bread has toasted and the cheese has melted, top one slice of bread with the stack of hot pastrami, then cover with the stack of hot corned beef.
- 8
Top the other slice of bread with the sauerkraut.
- 9
Flip the side with the sauerkraut on top of the one with the meat and grill for about 2 minutes, until the Reuben is hot throughout.

Transfer to a cutting board.

First, slice the sandwich vertically into two pieces—one piece twice the width of the other.
- 12
Slice the larger piece on the diagonal into two equal triangles.

You now have three small overstuffed Reubens for each plate.

Serve immediately, with the Russian Dressing on the side.
