The New York Reuben - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Russian Dressing
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 dash louisiana hot sauce
Sandwich
2 slices quality jewish rye bread
butter
1/4 lb thinly sliced corned beef
2 ounces thinly sliced swiss cheese
1/4 cup sauerkraut, well drained (I rinse it, then drain)

Preparation

To make the dressing: combine all the dressing ingredients together, mixing well.
Store, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To make the sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread.
Put the first slice, buttered side down, in a large skillet.
Pile on the slices of corned beef and swiss cheese; spread with approximately 1 tablespoon dressing, and add the sauerkraut.
Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cover and grill slowly over low heat for 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
Uncover, turn the sandwich over, increase heat to medium-high; grill until golden brown on the second side.
Cut sandwich in half and serve immediately with kosher dills or \"half sours\" (partially dilled pickles).
