Ingredients

Coleslaw

  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 14 ounces shredded cabbage and carrots from a bagged coleslaw mix or freshly shredded

Russian Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon sambal oelek chili paste
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Dash of freshly ground black pepper

For the Sandwich

  • 1 loaf ye bread about 1 pound
  • 1 pound corned beef or roast beef thinly sliced
  • 1 pound turkey or ham thinly sliced
  • 1/2 pound Swiss cheese thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Make the coleslaw. In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seeds, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Fold in the shredded cabbage and carrots until evenly coated. Let the coleslaw stand for at least 30 minutes, then drain off any excess liquid before assembling the sandwiches.
  • Make the Russian dressing. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, prepared horseradish, sambal oelek, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Prepare the bread. Remove the crusts from the loaf of rye bread and trim it into a rectangular block. Slice the bread horizontally into very thin, 1/4-inch slices.
  • Assemble the sandwich. Lay one long slice of bread on a flat surface. Add one-third of the corned beef or roast beef in an even layer.
  • Spoon some coleslaw over the meat and spread it evenly. Add a layer of Russian dressing, then top with a few slices of Swiss cheese.
  • Place another slice of bread on top. Repeat the layering process with the turkey or ham, followed by more coleslaw, Russian dressing, and Swiss cheese.
  • Continue layering until the sandwich is assembled. Slice into portions and serve.
