Hot Pastrami Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Spread mustard on each slice of bread.
• add 1 ounce of cheese and 3 ounces of pastrami per sandwich.
• top with another slice of bread.
• Spread butter on the outside of the assembled sandwich.
• Heat in hot, heavy skillet until bread is toasted and cheese melted.

Steps:

• Simmer pastrami in broth until hot.
• Divide meat among bread, using 4 ounces for smaller sandwich, and 8 ounces for large.
• Add cheese, mustard, pickles, and onions to taste.
• Grill sandwich until toasty and crisp if desired.
• Serve warm with chips if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill. Season onions with salt and pepper and brush with oil. In a small saucepan combine beer and mustard and bring to a boil. Add pastrami and simmer for 3 minutes. Grill onions on both sides and toast bread on a cooler part of the grill. When all ingredients are heated, prepare sandwich.

Steps:

• Heat a flattop grill or pan on medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Set the buttered side of bread on the flattop. Add provolone to one slice and Swiss to the other slice. Grill until bread is toasted and cheese has melted, approximately 5 minutes, then remove from the flattop. Meanwhile, place pastrami on the flattop in a pile and the sauerkraut on the flattop in a separate pile. Grill both until warm, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then flip and warm the other side. Add mayonnaise to both pieces of bread, then add mustard to one half. Place half the pastrami on one slice and the other half on the other slice. Add sauerkraut to one half and flip the other slice on top. Cut sandwich in half and enjoy!

Steps:

• For the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, smoked paprika, dill pickles and shallots in a food processor until thoroughly mixed. Do not over blend, you still want to see some texture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside or refrigerate in a covered jar until serving time.
• For the sandwich build: Combine half of the dressing with the sauerkraut and toss. Place 1 slice of cheese on a piece of bread. Pile the meat high on the cheese, top with an additional slice of cheese, some of the sauerkraut mixture and the second piece of bread. Butter the outsides of the sandwich. Heat a heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet or griddle pan over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches, cover with a heatproof bowl and griddle until golden and gooey in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, cover and let cook until golden all around, another 3 minutes. Serve the extra dressing on the side.
• Cook's Note: I love getting a whole piece of pastrami, uncut, from Fumare's in Chicago. If you have a favorite deli, try getting a whole piece and cutting it yourself; the meat will stay nice and tender and you can mix the bark from the end cut with the meatier middle. You'll fall in love with pastrami all over again.

Steps:

• Let the dough thaw and rise according to package directions.(usually in a loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray).
• Once it has risen slice the dough down the center long ways about one inch into dough.
• Spread the dough apart using your fingers as if you were "parting the waters". Be careful not to go all the way to the bottom of the pan.
• In the opening spread the mustard, then lay the pastrami inside going as close to each end as possible. Place the cheese slices over the pastrami pressing everything down.
• Pull the dough up and over the filling pinching and twisting to make sure the dough is sealed.
• Bake at 350 for at least 45 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Let cool for 5 minutes and remove onto a cutting board. Using a serrated knife slice pieces about 2 inches thick.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir cabbage and garlic basil spread until cabbage begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sauerkraut, sweet hot mustard, and pastrami; cook and stir until hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese and cook until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spread each hoagie bun with 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard. Top with 4 slices Swiss cheese and evenly distribute the pastrami mixture among the sandwiches. Sprinkle with diced onion and top with tomato wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium high heat till just starting to smoke. Fry the pastrami flipping occasionally until brown. 3 minutes.
• Deglaze pan with the water cooking over high heat until reduced. 3 minutes
• Pour the sauce into a small dipping container.
• Make a sandwich with the pastrami and bread and serve immediately.
• Vary the amount of meat per your taste.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to High setting.
• In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine the broth, beer and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
• Separate the slices of pastrami and drop each into the sauce, allowing the pastrami to heat through.
• Place open buns on an ungreased cookie sheet or half-sheet. Place pastrami slices on one side of the bun, (reserving the cooking sauce). Place cheese on the opposite side of the bun. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts.
• remove from broiler and spread mustard on pastrami.
• Serve, cut into pieces and with bowls of the sauce for dipping.
