    Corned beef sandwich on rye with mustard

    Hand-carved corned beef is the soul of the New York deli. Piled high on rye with a swipe of mustard and a pickle on the side, this sandwich honors the city’s deli tradition — tender, salty, and stacked the way it should be.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Steam the corned beef slices over simmering water for 1-2 minutes until warm and moist.
    2. Spread the rye bread with mustard.
    3. Pile the corned beef high on two slices of bread, folding it so it mounds generously. Add Swiss cheese if you like.
    4. Top with the remaining bread, press gently, and cut in half.
    5. Serve with sour pickles on the side.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Slice the corned beef against the grain and slightly thick — that's the deli style. Steam the slices for a minute to warm them without drying the meat out.
