  • Prepare coleslaw dressing by mixing all relevant ingredients in a small bowl and toss with fresh coleslaw as needed.
  • Mix the ingredients for the Russian dressing in another small bowl.
  • Open the corned beef, discard the juices, and slice it for the sandwiches.
  • Butter marble rye slices and brown them in a skillet.
  • Spread Russian dressing on the bottom slice of the rye bread.
  • Add a thick layer of corned beef, followed by Swiss cheese and coleslaw.
  • Top with another slice of rye, secure with toothpicks if necessary, and slice in half before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, allow the corned beef to cool before slicing to retain its juiciness.
This dish pairs well with a side of pickles or chips for a true deli experience.
Feel free to customize the coleslaw ingredients to suit your preference.
