Rueben

My favorite part about St. Patty’s Day is the leftover corned beef. On Friday I made a classic New England favorite, Red Flannel Hash, and throughout the weekend we’ve been grilling reubens with the remainder of the corned beef.

The following recipe can be switched around if desired. According to Wikipedia, there is a Rachel Reuben (pastrami and coleslaw), a Grouper Reuben (grouper and coleslaw) and a Virgin Reuben (everything but the meat). I, personally, have a great affection for Smoked Turkey Reubens.

No leftovers? There’s a little deli on Detroit street that makes one of the best reubens in America —their recipe conveniently posted on the Food Network site.

  • 1 tablespoon ketchup

Instructions

  1. To make a relish, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and pickle. Reserve.
