Reuben Sandwich: Flavor and Tradition in Every Bite
O Que Você Precisa Saber
- The fermented acidity of the drained sauerkraut breaks the greasiness of the cured meat and the butter of the crust.
- The melted Swiss cheese acts as a sealing agent that binds the rye bread slices toasted on the griddle.
- Thousand Island dressing adds a sweet and creamy profile that harmonizes the intense elements of the filling.
Ingredients
Main Course
4 slices of rye bread
200g of corned beef
100g of Swiss cheese
100g sauerkraut
4 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing
Butter to taste
Use fresh bread for better texture.
For a healthier version, swap the canned meat for grilled chicken breast.
Be careful when turning the sandwich so it doesn't fall apart.
Try adding pickles for an extra touch of flavor.
Serve with chips or salad to accompany.

Chef Tips
- Squeeze the sauerkraut in a sieve or with your hands to eliminate the liquid before assembling on the bread.
- Keep the skillet over low heat covered for 2 minutes to melt the Swiss cheese without burning the rye.
- Flip the sandwich with the support of two flat spatulas so as not to spread the sauerkraut and meat in the skillet.
Variations
- Rachel Sandwich: replace the cured beef with smoked turkey breast and the sauerkraut with coleslaw salad.
- Spicy Russian dressing: substitute Thousand Island with homemade Russian dressing with horseradish.
- Touch of caraway seeds: toast caraway seeds in butter before browning the slices.
Substitutions
- Corned beef can be replaced by cured pastrami in slices or shredded homemade roast beef.
- Traditional rye bread can be replaced by Australian bread, malt bread, or sourdough.
- The Swiss cheese (Emmental or Gruyère) can be swapped for cured plate cheese or thinly sliced provolone.
How to Store
Consuma logo após a finalização na frigideira. Caso sobrem ingredientes frios, armazene o recheio de carne e chucrute separado das fatias de pão na geladeira por até 3 dias; toste e monte o sanduíche apenas na hora de servir.
Can You Freeze It?
Do not freeze the ready sandwich. Sauerkraut releases acidic water when thawing, leaving the bread soggy, and Swiss cheese loses its creamy elasticity; freeze only the sliced cured meat in an airtight bag for up to 2 months.
What to Serve With
Serve accompanied by artisanal dill pickles, crispy potato chips, or coleslaw. Pairs perfectly with Red Ale craft beer, Stout beer, or ginger ale.
Frequently Asked Questions
O que é corned beef e onde encontrar?
É uma carne bovina curada em salmoura com especiarias; pode ser encontrada em conserva enlatada ou em fatias na charcutaria.
Why does the sauerkraut need to be well drained?
The liquid brine of the sauerkraut soaks the crumb of the rye bread, preventing the crust from becoming firm and crispy on the griddle.
How to make a simple homemade Thousand Island sauce?
Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, finely chopped pickles, a few drops of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until a pink cream forms.
Is rye bread mandatory in the classic recipe?
Rye bread with earthy notes is the signature of the original Reuben, but any rustic bread with a good crust can be used.
