ZINGERMAN'S REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the corned beef with a little water, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and steam it in the oven.
• Meanwhile, put the whole loaf of rye bread (unwrapped) into the oven. Bake the bread until the crust is very crunchy, about 15 minutes. Set the bread on the counter and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
• When the rye bread is cool enough to handle place it on a cutting board. Hold the bread knife at a 45-degree angle and cut 12 slices.
• Take the corned beef out of the oven and unwrap it. Spread each slice of bread with Russian dressing. Layer half of the slices with corned beef, sauerkraut and slices of Swiss cheese, then top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread (dressing-side down).
• Heat 2 large heavy skillets over medium heat. Brush the bread with butter. Put the sandwiches in the pans and weight them with a lid or heat proof bowl topped with something heavy. Cook until the first sides are crisp and golden about 7 minutes then flip the sandwiches. Cook until the second sides are also well toasted and the cheese is melted. Lift the sandwiches onto a cutting board. Cut each in half diagonally and serve.
• Combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, parsley, onion, pickle, lemon juice, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and mix well.

INDIVIDUAL REUBEN SANDWICHES WITH RED CHILE RUSSIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• For the red chile russian dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, capers, chili powder, cornichons and chile de arbol in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the reuben sandwiches: Lay out 20 slices of the bread on a clean work surface, and spread each with a few teaspoons of the Red Chile Russian Dressing. Top each bread slice with 2 slices of the cheese and a dollop of the sauerkraut, followed by a few folded slices of the corned beef. Top each sandwich with another slice of bread.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 5, place the sandwiches in the pan and press down with a metal spatula. Cook until both sides are golden brown. Add more butter, if needed, before cooking the next batch. Keep the sandwiches warm in the oven on a large baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the corned beef in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with a little water. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes.
• Lay the bread slices on a clean work surface and spread 1 side of each slice with some of the Russian dressing. Layer 1/2 of the slices with some of the corned beef. Divide the sauerkraut evenly over the meat, then top the sauerkraut with the slices of cheese and cole slaw. Place the remaining bread slices on top, dressing sides down, and set aside.
• Heat 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. When hot, brush 1 side of each sandwich with some of the butter and place in the hot pans, buttered sides down, and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Spread the unbuttered, top sides of the sandwiches with the remaining butter and turn the sandwiches to cook on the second side until golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half on the diagonal, then serve immediately, with remaining cole slaw and a kosher dill pickle, for garnish.
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients except salt and whisk until well-blended. Add salt to taste, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
