Reuben
The Reuben is sandwich royalty, popular around the world for its combination of soft beef, cheese, tangy sauerkraut and Russian dressing. In the USA, salt beef (known as corned beef across the Atlantic) would be used. However, we think this sandwich works well with British style corned beef, too, hence its inclusion in this recipe! Use whatever you prefer.
