Corned beef leftovers are begging to be turned into these classic deli-style corned beef sandwiches. Made with just a few ingredients stacked between two slices of toasted rye bread – who knew a simple sandwich could taste SO good?
What Makes This Recipe So Good
- Piles and piles of delicious savory meat. Seriously, do not skimp on the corned beef! It truly is the star of the show.
- There’s no easier meal, but this ain’t your average, boring ol’ sandwich. It’s a delicious, juicy corned beef sandwich with a curated selection of condiments that will blow your taste buds away!
- Gently toasted rye bread brings out that nutty rye flavor while adding a nice crunch to these sandwiches. This recipe takes not only taste, but also texture, into account – which to me is equally as important!
Key Ingredients
Rye Bread – Any type of rye bread works! My favorite is a rustic rye with a nice crispy crust – yum!
Russian Dressing – Consider this the “secret sauce”. A base of mayonnaise and ketchup with a bit of horseradish and other spices makes Russian dressing the perfect addition to this recipe.
Dill Pickle Relish – Adds to the brininess of the salt-cured corned beef! If you love pickles on your sandwiches, you’ll go crazy for dill pickle relish.
Chef’s Tips
- Have fun with this recipe! Add more or less of any ingredient to totally customize it to your liking.
- Swiss cheese would make a great addition. Add a few slices, then toast your sandwich in a hot pan with butter for a few minutes per side or until the cheese has melted. Or, if you have a panini press, you can throw it in there for just a couple of minutes.
- Homemade corned beef makes the BEST corned beef sandwiches. I used this sous vide version in my sandwiches and oh man was it good! If you don’t feel like making your own, a thinly-sliced, store-bought corned beef would work great in this recipe as well.
