Directions

The Reuben Sandwich is a beloved American deli classic, known for its bold flavors and satisfying texture. It features thinly sliced corned beef layered with tangy sauerkraut, creamy Russian dressing, and melted Swiss cheese, all sandwiched between slices of rye bread. Grilled until golden brown and crispy, this sandwich offers the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and cheesy goodness. Often served with pickles and chips, the Reuben is a must-try comfort food, ideal for lunch or dinner. While traditionally made with corned beef, variations like the turkey-based Rachel sandwich or a vegetarian version with mushrooms or tempeh are also popular alternatives.
