Directions:
1. Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread Dijon mustard on two slices of bread and mayonnaise on the other two. Layer each mustard-covered slice with roast beef and each mayonnaise-covered slice with corned beef. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to each sandwich, then top with a generous helping of sauerkraut.
2. Grill the Sandwiches
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices. Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches for 2–3 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
3. Serve and Enjoy
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve them hot, with pickles on the side if desired. These Roast Beef and Corned Beef Sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh off the grill, but they’re just as delicious at room temperature if you’re packing them for lunch.
A Quick Tip:
For an extra burst of flavor, add a few slices of red onion or a sprinkle of caraway seeds to the sandwiches before grilling. It adds a nice crunch and enhances the savory goodness of the meats.
