Madonnas Triple Decker Reuben Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Cut each slice of cheese in half crosswise, then cut each half diagonally to form 2 triangles.
• Toast 6 bread slices; spread dressing evenly over 1 side of each slice. Brush melted butter over 1 side of each slice of remaining untoasted bread. Place 6 bread slices, buttered sides down, on work surface; spread each with 1 teaspoon mustard. Divide pastrami evenly over mustard-coated bread slices; top each with 2 tablespoons sauerkraut, 1 cheese triangle and 1 toasted bread slice, dressing side up. Divide corned beef evenly over dressing-coated bread slices; top each with 2 tablespoons sauerkraut, 1 cheese triangle and remaining bread slices, buttered sides up. Secure sandwiches with toothpicks.
• Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 6 to 10 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned and cheese is melted.
• Using electric knife or serrated knife, carefully cut each sandwich into 4 rectangles. Secure each mini sandwich with 6-inch bamboo skewer. Garnish with cornichons.

Steps:

• Butter 1 side of 1 slice bread. Place the buttered side down on waxed paper.
• Spread 1 T. of the thousand island dressing on the bread.
• Place 1/2 of the swiss cheese on the dressing.
• Top with sauerkraut and 1/2 of the corned beef.
• Spread 1 T. thousand island dressing on both sides of the toast.
• Place on top of the corned beef.
• Press lightly.
• Next layer the remaining corned beef, coleslaw, and the cheese.
• Top with last piece of rye bread.
• Butter the top.
• Lightly press the sandwich together.
• Heat a pan and grill until golden brown on both sides.
• To serve: Slice the sandwich on the diagonal. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place one slice of bread on work surface and top with the corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. On the other piece of bread, spread one side with Russian dressing or spicy brown mustard. Place dressing-side down on top of Swiss cheese to form a sandwich.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter to the pan and place the sandwich on top of the melted butter. Cook until golden, pressing down with a spatula, about 2 minutes. Lift the sandwich from the skillet and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Toast the other side of sandwich until golden and the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with pickles.

Steps:

• Spread 1 slice of bread with mustard and the other with mayonnaise.
• Place Swiss cheese, beef& sauerkraut between the bread slices.
• Brown in melted butter in a skillet, on both sides and until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Up to 2 days before, place the meat in a dish with the garlic, thyme, 4 tbsp of the olive oil and some freshly ground pepper. Cover and chill until needed. To make the sauce, tip the gherkins, capers, red onion and parsley into a bowl. Add ayonnaise to just bind the ingredients. Season to taste with Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Set aside.
• Heat a pan until very hot and starting to smoke. Remove the meat from the marinade and sear the meat in the pan for about 20 mins until it's really browned and cooked to medium-rare. If the pan isn't big enough, you may need to do one piece at a time. Set the meat aside to rest.
• Trim the loaf to a rough rectangle that will fit both steaks side-by-side, then cut the loaf lengthways into three.
• Give the pan a wipe with kitchen paper, then place back onto a low-ish heat with the rest of the olive oil. Fry each slice of bread on both sides until crisp and browned, adding a drop more oil to the pan if necessary.
• When ready to assemble the sandwich, carve the steak into thin slices. Starting with the bottom of the loaf, build up with half the lettuce leaves, then a generous spreading of the sauce, half the tomato, then a layer of sliced steak. Top with the middle piece of bread and repeat the layers, finishing with the top of the loaf.
• Press down lightly on the sandwich and secure four times along the loaf with long wooden skewers. Using a very sharp bread knife, carefully cut between the skewers to give you 4 tall sandwiches. Serve the sandwiches with chips and any remaining sauce in a side dish.
