Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 slices rye bread ((traditional, marbled, or pumpernickel))
  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter ((divided))
  • 4 oz sliced pastrami
  • 1/3 cup coleslaw
  • 1 slice Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Russian dressing

Instruction

  • Warm pastrami by placing it in a steamer basket (or strainer) over boiling water. Flip the slices of pastrami to ensure they heat evenly. This should take less than a minute per side.
  • Lightly toast the slices of rye bread to firm them up, then coat one side of each slice with butter. To assemble the sandwich, place pastrami on the bottom piece of bread, then top with cheese, coleslaw, and dressing, then place the sandwich in a skillet set over medium heat.
  • Leave sandwich in the skillet set over medium heat for ~2 minutes, or until bread slightly browns, then flip and repeat.
  • Remove sandwich from the frying pan, cut it in half on a cutting board, and serve.
