Use the slow cooker’s "Low" setting to cook your corned beef with seasonings for 6-8 hours. This slow cooking method makes the beef tender and flavorful. Once cooked, simply slice the corned beef and assemble your sandwich, then toast it using a grill pan or skillet.
Use the Instant Pot’s "Saute" function to sear your corned beef quickly, then switch to "Pressure Cook" for 50 minutes to tenderize the beef. Once done, slice the corned beef thinly, and assemble the sandwich with your rye bread, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. You can quickly toast the bread in the air fryer or on the stovetop.
After assembling your Reuben sandwich, place it in the air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. The air fryer ensures the sandwich is crisp and golden on the outside while keeping the inside warm and melty, with the cheese perfectly melted.
Choosing the right bread is crucial for making a delicious Reuben Sandwich. It's essential to use high-quality rye bread, which provides a tangy flavor and sturdy texture to hold the sandwich fillings.
Preparing the corned beef for Reuben Sandwich can be a challenge. It's essential to cook the corned beef slowly and low heat to make it tender and flavorful. It's recommended to cook the meat in advance and then slice it thinly.
Sauerkraut is a crucial ingredient in Reuben Sandwich, and it's essential to prepare it correctly. It's recommended to rinse it to remove some of the salt and then cook it in butter and seasonings to enhance its flavor.
Choosing the right cheese for Reuben Sandwich can be a personal preference, but it's essential to select a cheese that melts well. Swiss cheese is a traditional choice for Reuben Sandwich, but other choices such as provolone or gruyere can also work.
Assembling the Reuben Sandwich can be challenging as it's essential to layer the fillings correctly to ensure even distribution of flavors. It's recommended to add the Thousand Island dressing or Russian Dressing to the slices of bread before adding the fillings so that the flavors penetrate the sandwich. Add the corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese and grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
Serving Reuben Sandwich can be a challenge as it can be messy and fall apart easily. It's essential to serve immediately after grilling, wrapped in paper or served on a plate with a side of fries or potato chips.
