Fun fact: Pastrami is effectively corned beef that has been smoked. The smoking adds flavor as well as preserves the meat. Before refrigeration, this was a popular means of meat preparation to keep the meat from spreading bacteria.
So let's take a look at how one of these sandwiches is put together...
The ingredients you'll need for the pastrami sandwich we're going to make are marble rye bread, Swiss cheese, pickles, pastrami, and Beano's Deli Mustard.
First, you'll lay your marble rye bread out as pictured so that you can put Deli Mustard on the inside of both pieces.
Then, you'll pile as much pastrami as you'd like onto one of the pieces of bread (we like to use a lot!)
Next comes the Swiss cheese! (or your favorite alternative cheese)
On top of the cheese, you'll put the pickle. Dill complements the rest of the sandwich, but you could also use bread and butter or your favorite pickle here. It also adds a nice crunchy texture to the sandwich.
Now, you'll put the sandwich together and you're ready for the "hot" part of the pastrami sandwich!
I like to use a toaster oven, but you can put the sandwich on a griddle or use a conventional oven if you don't have a toaster oven. I leave it in just long enough for the cheese to get nice and melty. Note: if you're going to put the sandwich on a griddle, I would suggest putting a little bit of butter on the outside of the bread... it will brown really nicely and taste great!
There you have it! A hot pastrami sandwich! I feel like I'm in a New York Deli :) Enjoy!
Next week... The Breakfast Sandwich!
