For the sandwich:
8 slices of rye bread (you can also use marble rye)
1 pound of thinly sliced pastrami
1/2 pound of Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
1/4 cup Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing (store-bought or homemade)
For Russian Dressing (same as previous recipe):
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Follow the same instructions as the previous recipe, but substitute the corned beef with pastrami. Here's a recap:
Prepare the Russian Dressing: Mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and adjust the seasonings to taste.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out 4 slices of rye bread and spread Russian dressing on each of them.
Layer the Ingredients: Add a layer of pastrami, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on top of the dressing.
Top with Bread: Place the remaining 4 slices of rye bread on top of the sauerkraut, dressing side down.
Grill the Sandwiches: Preheat a griddle or skillet, butter the outer sides of the sandwiches, and grill them until they're crispy and the cheese has melted.
Serve: Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve them with your choice of sides.
