Make the homemade Thousand Island dressing by mixing diced onions, sweet paprika, and other ingredients together.

Warm up the griddle.

Add shaved corned beef to the griddle and let it cook down for a few minutes until caramelized.

Drain the juices off the sauerkraut and set aside.

Build the Reuben sandwich by laying down rye bread on the griddle.

Spread the Thousand Island dressing on the rye bread.

Add the cooked corned beef in an accordion style on top of the dressing.

Place Swiss cheese on top of the corned beef.

Add sauerkraut on top of the Swiss cheese.

Add pickles on top of the sauerkraut.

Spread salted butter on the outside of the sandwich and place it on the griddle.

Press down on the sandwich slightly and cover with a dome to help melt the cheese.

Cook for another minute or so until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Let the sandwich sit for a minute before slicing it.

Slice the sandwich either catty or halfway and plate it.
