Ingredients

  • 2 slices dark Rye bread
  • 8 oz thin slices corned beef approximately 4 thin slices
  • ¾ cup Sauerkraut drained
  • 1.5 slices swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Thousand Island dressing
  • Butter for frying

Instructions

  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is warm, add at least 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and add two slices of bread to the skillet. To one slice of bread add the sliced Swiss cheese.
  • Meanwhile, heat a second skillet and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Swirl the butter around and add the corned beef to the skillet. Heat both sides of the corned beef slices until heated through. Push to the side and add the sauerkraut to the pan. Form the Sauerkraut into a lump, flipping once to heat the other side.
  • Working quickly, transfer the corned beef to the toasting piece of bread without cheese. After flipping, gently place the sauerkraut lump on top of the corned beef and top with a generous heap of Thousand Island dressing. Top with the other slice of rye, cheese side down.
  • Cut in half and serve immediately.
