Serves 2 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Dill pickles
4 slices
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons
Pastrami, thinly sliced
8 ounces
Rye bread
4 slices

Instructions

  1. Lay out the four slices of rye bread on a clean working surface.
  2. Spread a half tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly over one side of each slice of bread. The mustard adds a tangy kick that perfectly balances the rich, spiced pastrami.
  3. Divide the pastrami evenly among two slices of bread, covering the mustard-laden surface completely.
  4. Place two slices of dill pickle on top of the pastrami. The pickles provide a crunchy contrast and add a refreshing tang to the savory pastrami.
  5. Complete each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down. Ensure that the mustard meets the pastrami and pickle layers to meld the flavors together.
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich in half diagonally. This classic deli-style cut makes the sandwich easier to handle and more visually appealing.
  7. Serve immediately for the most authentic taste experience. Enjoy your homemade New York-Style Pastrami Sandwich!

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist on the classic, try using whole grain mustard instead of Dijon for a milder, nuttier flavor.
  • 💡 For a toasted version, heat a skillet over medium heat, add a pat of butter, and grill each side of the sandwich until golden and crisp.
