There's a bit of controversy as to who invented this sandwich, which is globally loved. Okay, let us explain: a "Rachel" sandwich is a Reuben but made with pastrami or roast turkey instead of corned beef.

Steps to make Tex's Pastrami Reuben ('Rachel') πππ²π§:
- Pan fry your bread on one side in a skillet on a high heat1. Slice the Swiss thinly
- Remove from heat, and smear both sides of the toasted side with dressing (I've seen recipes that use Thousand Island, or horseradish instead of Russian). Add the pastrami to the dressed side of one slice. Reduce the heat of your skillet to a medium low heat
- Put the sauerkraut in the pan and add the sliced cheese on top. Cover with a pan lid and cook for 1-2 minutes1. As the cheese just starts to melt, remove it, and the sauerkraut, from the pan and position on top of the pastrami. Increase the heat in the pan to a medium high heat
- Put the base in the pan and cover with a pan lid again until the bread is toasted
- Add the lid of the sandwich and flip over on to the un-toasted side. Cook until toasted
- Finally, remove from the pan, add extra dressing if required, and serve hot
- Remember, the way to serve a Reuben or Rachel is "Axis, Neutral, Ally": Kraut, Swiss, Russian πΊ
A classic Reuben is always made with corned beef! It is easy to see the confusion though, as both sandwiches are so delicious! If you've ever been to Katz's Delicatessen in NYC (or any other NY Jewish-style deli, really), you know what I'm talking. A Rachel is a well documented version of a Reuben. The Rachel is typically a made with Pastrami and topped with Cole Slaw instead of Corned Beef and Sauerkraut.
