Description

This recipe transforms a classic deli pastrami sandwich into a gourmet-tasting experience at home, featuring warm pastrami, tangy purple slaw, and a zesty mustard stripe for a satisfying and easy meal. It is a hearty and flavorful dish perfect for busy weeknights or a quick lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced pastrami
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) yellow mustard
  • 2 cups (150g) thinly sliced purple cabbage
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) sugar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make Purple Slaw: Thinly slice 2 cups (150g) purple cabbage. Whisk 2 Tbsp (30ml) apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp (15ml) olive oil, 1 tsp (5g) sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour over cabbage, toss until evenly coated and glistening. Let sit 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  2. Toast Rye Bread: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Toast in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, or under a broiler, until golden brown and crisp to the touch.
  3. Assemble Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on the untoasted bread sides. Layer pastrami generously on one slice, then top with Swiss cheese. Add a good amount of tangy purple slaw next.
  4. Create Mustard Stripe: Use a spoon or squeeze bottle to make parallel stripes of Dijon and yellow mustard on the other bread slice. (If pastrami seems dry when warmed, a splash of water helps it stay moist.)
  5. Finish And Serve: Place the mustard-striped bread on top. Press gently. Cut the hearty pastrami sandwich in half and serve immediately to enjoy the best textures and fresh flavors.

Notes

For a hot pastrami sandwich, melt the cheese over the pastrami in a pan before assembling. Do not over-dress the slaw too far ahead, or it will get soggy. Avoid over-toasting the rye bread; aim for crisp, not burnt.
