There are lots of variations on this epic sandwich, which is famous throughout NYC delis. This is our take on the Reuben salt beef sandwich. Note: the salt beef can be swapped out for our ready prepared English Corned beef.
Method:
- Make the relish by simply stirring together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, horseradish and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce and keep to one side
- Next make the cheese sauce by melting the butter and flour together over a medium heat, then gradually whisk in the milk to create a thick white sauce followed by the cheese. Season to taste and keep warm.
To assemble:
- Shallow fry the bread in melted butter until golden.
- Spoon the sauerkraut between two slices of fried bread, followed by the salt beef, top with the cheese sauce, then finally a dollop of the relish. Sandwich together and eat straight away with sliced gherkin.
To serve:
- A nice cold beer and lots of napkins!
