Grilled Reubens

To paraphrase Don Cash in his Old El Paso Tacos post, sometimes you just have to cook outside even if it isn't the most efficient solution. This was definitely one of those nights for me. I decided to cook Reubens on the grill, specifically on my gasser on the Weber griddle that I put away unseasoned (read: starting to rust) during last year's monsoon that led to all the flooding. So after scrubbing, sanding, cleaning, soaking in vinegar, scrubbing, sanding, cleaning, etc. it was ready to season on the flat side. The other side was fortunately still seasoned, so I got to use the grill pan side.... on my grill? Anyway, time to make Reubens.

Seasoned side ready for action.

Warming up the leftover smoked corned beef.

And while I'm at it, heating up some leftover jalapeno cheddar biscuits that Erin made last night.

Grilling some more, just closer.

Couldn't get any sear on the griddle side, so this is right on the grate.

And plated.

It would've been easier to just fry them in a pan, but it was nice to be outside. Spring makes me feel bad for those people that live in climates where it's nice all year round. Winter doesn't, though.

Thanks for looking!
 
Reubens are right up there with my favorite sandwiches, and your's are making my mouth water. Cooking outside makes everything better.
 
After looking at this post the conversation went like this. "When are you going to buy the corned beef!?" I said to my darling wife. "I just picked one up today dear" she replies. "OMG you are the best! I am grilling Rubens on Saturday!" Thanks for the pics Jon.
 
What An Excellent Lookin' Sandwich JON!
Ya Know.... I'd EET Two Of Those Very EZ and Probably Look For MORE!!!

for the longest time, I would not go near rubins, 1) cuz i couldn't spell the word + 2) cuz i just didn't like um for some stupid reason.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Jim -- FYI, Erin doesn't like 1000 Island either. She mixes it with mayo, horseradish and Beaver jalapeno mustard.
