How to make a Reuben Sandwich with Grass Fed, Free Range Corned Beef

Reuben grilled cheese sandwich recipe with Free Range, Grass Fed Corned Beef and a homemade Russian dressing.

Meet your New Favourite Grilled Sandwich

A Reuben is classic sandwich which originated in North America, with its invention as far back as the 1900s.

It is a fully loaded grilled sandwich which usually contains corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and a dressing – Thousand Island or Russian, whichever you prefer.

Thousand island is more sweet, but Russian packs in a spicy punch which is a flavour profile that perfectly compliments the corned beef and cheese. We recommend making your own Russian, with the recipe below.

There’s nothing more satisfying than a grilled sandwich when the right ingredients are used, and this is certainly a great way to showcase our Grass Fed, Free Range corned beef.

Enjoy for brunch, lunch – or with some homecooked chips to make a delicious meal of it.
