●1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
●Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
●Sandwich ingredients:

●8 slices rye bread

Method
1.Make Russian dressing:
In a small jar, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and freshly ground black pepper. Shake to combine. Set aside.
Note: This makes one-half cup of dressing. So, reserve half. Cap the jar and refrigerate for a later use.
2.Butter bread and assemble sandwiches.
Butter one side of four slices of bread, and place buttered-side down on a large piece of wax paper on a flat surface. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese, and then divide half of the corned beef among them.
3.Add sauerkraut and finish assembling sandwiches.
Using paper towels, squeeze out excess moisture from the sauerkraut. Divide the sauerkraut among the sandwiches, and top each with one tablespoon of Russian dressing. Add another layer of corned beef and a second slice of Swiss cheese to each sandwich. Top with the remaining bread slices. Butter the the top of the sandwich
4.Pan-grill the sandwiches, melting the cheese.
Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium heat. Cook the sandwiches on one side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwiches over and finish cooking on the second side, about 3 minutes on each side.
Cut the sandwiches in half before serving. Serve immediately with coleslaw. or whatever side dish you wish.
