Delicious Kimchi Cabbage & Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich, with Thousand Island dressing
Ingredients
For Ruben Sandwich
For Thousand Island Dressing
Directions
Delicious, toasted rye bread with melted Swiss cheese, perfectly cooked corned beef, and fermented spicy kimchi. It’s the kind of mash‑up you’d expect to see on a chalkboard menu next to craft beer.
To reheat corned beef, warm ½–1 cup of beef broth in a pan and add the slices, letting them heat gently. Drain on paper towels, then continue assembling the sandwich — this keeps the meat juicy and tender.
Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Toast both sides of the bread until lightly golden, then add the cheese and return it to the broiler just until it melts. Toasting both sides first helps the bread stay sturdy and hold up to the juicy corned beef and kimchi or sauerkraut.
Make the Thousand Island dressing by mixing ¾ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, ¼ cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons catsup, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon paprika in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
To heat the kimchi, first pat it dry and squeeze out the excess liquid so it doesn't make the bread soggy. Warm in a small pan just until heated through, or microwave it briefly.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering the juicy, drained corned beef on the bottom slice, then adding the warmed kimchi. Spread a generous amount of Thousand Island dressing over the melted Swiss cheese on the top slice of bread, then close the sandwich.
