Best Reuben in OKC

[soonerguru]

The Reuben at Slaughter's Hall consists of House corned beef (12 days), homemade sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, house made Russian dressing served on Rye bread. Not completely traditional but an amazing sandwich.

This sounds very good!

And, as per their menu, they heard it was the best in OKC.

What you described is the traditional Reuben. It would be interesting to see what is
in their Russian dressing.

I likes 'dem trads if they're on Pump.

Here's a Russian Dressing from Epicurious.

Russian Dressing
I've not discussed this with my Russian friends.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 cup purchased or homemade mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup-style chili sauce or ketchup
4 teaspoons bottled (regular; not packed in beet juice) horseradish, or to taste
1 teaspoon hot sauce, preferably Frank's Red Hot Sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
Fine sea salt

Preparation

In a mortar and pestle, mash the onion to create a paste, or use a large heavy knife
to mince and mash the onion into a paste. Transfer the onion paste to a small bowl
and whisk in the mayonnaise, chili sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire
sauce, and sweet paprika. Season with fine sea salt, if desired. DO AHEAD: The
dressing can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 2
weeks.

I'm more of a fan of half reuben's as I don't care for kraut or mayo based dressings in general.

However, corned beef, swiss, and a mustard with some kick on rye bread is a right fair handful of a snack.

I'm not a huge fan of sauerkraut, but using it on a Reuben is a serious exception to the rule.
That Bavarian-style in a can isn't bad.

I think that they have discontinued Russian Dressing in the bottle.
The closest thing to it is Catalina. However, I've always used Thousand Island on my Reuben's because that's what the original recipe I used called for. I suppose you could mix some horseradish in with the Catalina and it would be, like, Soviet Dressing.

Next to a Muffaleta, the Reuben is my favorite sandwich.
(but the Olive Salad involved is good on just about anything. Except soup to nuts.)

I had an outstanding Reuben last night at Ingrid's. The sauce had a unique and wonderful flavor.
