Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- A good reuben sandwich should have nice melty cheese and should be warmed through. You can always warm the pastrami in a skillet first, before adding it to the sandwich to help.
- The tangy sauerkraut adds so much to this humble sandwich, but squeeze it dry or it'll sog your sammy.
- If you don't have Russian dressing, you can add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne to some Thousand Island dressing.
