I've got a 36" Blackstone, and I have a mission in life...To find the 'perfect" Reuben. When my wife and I go out for lunch or dinner and there's a Reuben on the menu, she knows I'm getting it. I may have just found my "perfect" Reuben. Thanks for this! Gonna do that this weekend.
Given how mouth-watering the pastrami looked on the vid on the P&P channel, yeah, there was literally no way that this sandwich wasn't going to be out of this world. Looking forward to more crossovers like this one!
OMG dude i didnt know that you had another channel?! This is exactly what i want, i love to smoke meats, but often times need recipes for left overs, or new ideas to shake things up. PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!!!
I find it hard to plan a cook 2 weeks ahead of time but have always wanted to smoke some pastrami. I also prefer regular swiss over Baby Swiss (even though I grew up about 10 minutes from where it was invented). If you're ever in the Cleveland area try Slyman's. Another "makes me hungry" video, great work.
My father in-law has a food truck with different kinds of burgers, fries, sandwiches, and most importantly, a rueben. The rueben outsells everything. Yours looked amazing, by the way. I could eat that every day. Can't wait to see your review of the newest weber slate griddle, too. Keep up the good work, sir.
That smoked pastrami is perfectly smoked. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and Amy and your crew. Also, loved the technique for frying the sandwich. Learned a new trick. Thanks 😊
Mmmmmmmmmm, Oh My That Reuben looked absolutely amazing, oh yes, keep on making them just like that. They are surely winners. Looked absolutely delicious. I can't wait to try that recipe. Keep them coming, we love you two here in Preskitt, AZ. Stay safe in East TN
It is truly amazing how great homemade brined brisket is vs. the garbage you purchase at the store. I've done the corned beef many times and it always blows me away at how fresh the corned beef tastes. But I've never smoked it, so I'm going to check out your method on pellets and pits to see how you did it. Thanks guys! Looks crazy delicious!!
I knew after watching the video of you smoking the pastrami, that the Ruben would be outstanding! I really like the crossover videos Neal. Actually I like them all! This was over the top! Cheers buddy!
Now that's a magnificent looking sandwich. I normally just make pastrami on rye with mustard and Swiss, but I'll go for a Rueben occasionally. That Rueben looked like perfection. You definitely nailed the secret of a good pastrami or Rueben; the pastrami has to be heated to soften that fat before it goes on the sandwich. I've done them where I steamed the pastrami and also heated it in a pan. Also using that fatty pastrami helps make it juicier and taste better. That's the way to do pastrami.
Wow, you knocked that sandwich out of the park. I love the bagged sauerkraut vs. the canned. I was given some homemade sauerkraut from a friend and just at it with a fork. Great cook!
Frickn 🔥🔥🔥🔥 my guy, you already know I’m a PASTRAMI JUNKY ✊🏼🧐!! Now that what I’m talking about, shoot set me up with 2. Super dope episode, you knocked it out the park with this 1 👊🏼😎🤙🏼, cheers y’all
That sure looked good Neil and Amy, maybe I'll get to try one sometime. I have never been able to eat a Reuben or Corn Beef sandwich , my taste buds never enjoyed the first one. It does look good though and others really like then so thank you for sharing with us. Fred.
I won a really nice slicer once and have really only used it a couple times for bacon or something like that. It takes far longer to clean than it takes to use. That pastrami looks great. I'm a pretty big fan or Reubens.
That is 100 correct...just used it today and yesterday and I just told Amy...labor of love...love you use it and hate to clean it...Same thing in the Navy...took for ever...
After watching the Pastrami vid right to this vid ! WOW can't be said enough !!!! Neil , wife wants to know what kind of slicer you're using ? I sold the one I had and she loves yours as it looks easy to clean . Thanks Guy's for all you do .
Oh sweet Mary & Martha I just had a religious moment right there... All I need with that is a cold beer and a chair by the firepit. Yes I'll have another please.
I may get hate mail but I have never been able to eat a Reuben because I don't like sour Krout or Rye bread. I will make this with good-quality sourdough, mayo, and tomatoes. Great cook Neal.
It's not everyday that you have the time to do all that work for a sandwich and put everything together. Unless you make a lot of corned beef and pastrami or use cold cuts and heat them up. I won't use all the sour kraut usually, so I get the Cleveland (whatever it's called that Walmart carries) in a little bag, it's a little too flavorful but works. Slymann's in Cleveland has a pretty famous sandwich shop. Their rubens are famous in the area but like you said you can do just as well or even better at home.
A Reuben is one of my favorite sandwiches and these looked better than any I've ever had. I don't care for thousand island dressing though, so I use horseradish sauce instead. I know you like horseradish too. Give it a try sometime. I'm betting you'll love it.
Y’all really need to go watch the other pastrami sandwich video on their other channel “pellets and pits”. It goes hand and hand with this one. Well done y’all!!
Boss, you are killing me. I would unhinge the jaws and wreck one of those. You have outdone your already lofty standards. I wasn't sure if you'd put your FTK press on them as they cooked 🤔 . Amazing cook, how can you ever beat this one??
Hey, I like your channel and certainly didn’t mean to offend. I grew up near several delis in NYC and the standard Reuben had corned beef. If you prefer Pastrami then fine. I’m not a fan of the Reuben sauce/ pastrami combo and much prefer deli mustard. Keep up the good work.
Start checking your local grocery stores and walmarts tomorrow. If they are hung on a lot of corned beef they will reduce the price. I have paid as little as $1.99 lb. After st. Pats day
You should never grill pastrami; takes away all the fatty juice and leaves it rubbery instead of soft. You should put a cooling rack on your grill and squirt some water so it steams with the pastrami on top of the cooking rack then immediately put a steaming dome to lock in the steam, it usually takes 5 minutes of steaming
Awe dude! You go to all that trouble of making that meat just right and you use bottled Thousand Island? It really isn't hard to make a Russian dressing, and once you've had it? You'll never go back to that bottled junk.
Although in my 45yrs of cooking I've made 1000'S of Reuben sandwiches I never wanted too. This is an Abomination to Good Corned Beef. It does sell good but I don't like it. ✌️
Rueben is hands down my favorite sandwich and you did it justice
👊👊

Hey I appreciate that....and thanks for the support on both channels...
This is one of your best griddle videos!!!! Keep up the great work and I really appreciate the time you and your wife take on making these videos.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the temps. It helps shorten my learning curve.
You bet!
OMG dude i didnt know that you had another channel?! This is exactly what i want, i love to smoke meats, but often times need recipes for left overs, or new ideas to shake things up. PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!!!
Absolutely...we started the other channel about 4 months ago...
For me, the reuben is the perfect sandwich.
I find it hard to plan a cook 2 weeks ahead of time but have always wanted to smoke some pastrami. I also prefer regular swiss over Baby Swiss (even though I grew up about 10 minutes from where it was invented). If you're ever in the Cleveland area try Slyman's. Another "makes me hungry" video, great work.
Will do...thanks
My wife and I love this. Thank you from both of us and be blessed.
Thanks for commenting....
Wow, I didn't comment on Pellets and Pits because I am watching back-to-back. Well done sir, very well done... Those look great...
No worries I appreciate that...cheers
My father in-law has a food truck with different kinds of burgers, fries, sandwiches, and most importantly, a rueben. The rueben outsells everything.
Yours looked amazing, by the way. I could eat that every day. Can't wait to see your review of the newest weber slate griddle, too. Keep up the good work, sir.
thats awesome...should be here next week
i used to make these on my food truck so good. nice job. now i want a double.
Sold!! Never made homemade pastrami but I will now. Looks delicious 🤤🤤🤤. Now on to Pellets and Pits to see how you did it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That smoked pastrami is perfectly smoked. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and Amy and your crew. Also, loved the technique for frying the sandwich. Learned a new trick. Thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it

I knew after watching the video of you smoking the pastrami, that the Ruben would be outstanding! I really like the crossover videos Neal. Actually I like them all! This was over the top! Cheers buddy!
Thanks bud...cheers
Literally drooling!!! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Yes sir....good for sure

Perfect Neal, love this sandwich! You did an amazing job . Cheers bro! 🍻
Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the tip of warming the meat and kraut a few minutes on the griddle before assembly, I’ll try that next time!
Absolutely...thanks
Thanks for this! Picked up some fav pastrami from Bogart’s in St. Louis and made this tonight. Your recipe rocked!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, you knocked that sandwich out of the park. I love the bagged sauerkraut vs. the canned. I was given some homemade sauerkraut from a friend and just at it with a fork. Great cook!
my wife picked up a bagged sauerkraut a few months ago... SOOO much better.
Frickn 🔥🔥🔥🔥 my guy, you already know I’m a PASTRAMI JUNKY ✊🏼🧐!! Now that what I’m talking about, shoot set me up with 2. Super dope episode, you knocked it out the park with this 1 👊🏼😎🤙🏼, cheers y’all
Thanks Mike...safe to say....we enjoyed this one as well...hard not to...damn goood
I saw how you made this yesterday. Its been quite a while since I last made one, but Def going to give yours a try!
Hope you like it!
I absolutely love it, and I'm sure yours is better than Katz's! That's a damn good looking sandwich!
That sure looked good Neil and Amy, maybe I'll get to try one sometime. I have never been able to eat a Reuben or Corn Beef sandwich , my taste buds never enjoyed the first one. It does look good though and others really like then so thank you for sharing with us. Fred.
Interesting...I honestly haven’t heard that...but we know by know by now that many things for many people...cheers..
Good call on the Boar's Head kraut...........beats canned in soooooo many ways.
Thanks bud
You haven’t had sauerkraut until you’ve had homemade sauerkraut! It’ll take that Rueben to a whole ‘nother level 😋😋😋
WOW, This looks AMAZING, Thanks for sharing, gotta go I’m hungry.
Good video
I won a really nice slicer once and have really only used it a couple times for bacon or something like that. It takes far longer to clean than it takes to use. That pastrami looks great. I'm a pretty big fan or Reubens.
That is 100 correct...just used it today and yesterday and I just told Amy...labor of love...love you use it and hate to clean it...Same thing in the Navy...took for ever...
Dude I’m a sucker for a Ruben and that looked like FIRE good job
TY
Great looking sandwich. I love a good Reuben. Keep up the great content.
TY
I’m excited about my Reuben tonight. Great video as always ❤
get to slicing...hope all is well...
Man, those sandwiches look fire 🔥 😋 Thanks for sharing.
TY
Yummy
I prefer Corned beef but pastrami is still amazing. Well sone, sir....Thanks for all that you do!
Thanks for watching
Looks Good, What kind of sauce was that?
Top tier badboy sandwich❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Appreciate that.
Looks awesome man but down in Canada we put dill pickle on it to but looks amazing.
Oh wow
After watching the Pastrami vid right to this vid ! WOW can't be said enough !!!! Neil , wife wants to know what kind of slicer you're using ? I sold the one I had and she loves yours as it looks easy to clean . Thanks Guy's for all you do .
Right on...its a cheap one from Pit Boss....works just fine for me...
Oh sweet Mary & Martha I just had a religious moment right there... All I need with that is a cold beer and a chair by the firepit. Yes I'll have another please.
Spot on...
I may get hate mail but I have never been able to eat a Reuben because I don't like sour Krout or Rye bread. I will make this with good-quality sourdough, mayo, and tomatoes. Great cook Neal.
Not at all...as I preach day to day...dont add it or make it if you dont like it...make what you like...this is no difference

I will look that up...thanks
Dammit now I need a Reuben!
A Reuben is one of my favorite sandwiches and these looked better than any I've ever had. I don't care for thousand island dressing though, so I use horseradish sauce instead. I know you like horseradish too. Give it a try sometime. I'm betting you'll love it.
im down for sure....love it..
Litte river del best Reuben s c
Y’all really need to go watch the other pastrami sandwich video on their other channel “pellets and pits”. It goes hand and hand with this one. Well done y’all!!
Appreciate that...really do...cheers
How new is the Weber 30” slate griddle? Do you plan on reviewing it anytime soon?
I do...i opted for the 36in model...should be receiving soon
Can’t wait. Want to see if they are worth the increased price or just get older model
Of course you nailed Neil as always. Like you said on the sh$t show you got it down right? Great job.
TY....yeah...I think we could hang with the best of them....
I want the bark
OMG😎👍
Boss, you are killing me. I would unhinge the jaws and wreck one of those. You have outdone your already lofty standards. I wasn't sure if you'd put your FTK press on them as they cooked 🤔 . Amazing cook, how can you ever beat this one??
Thanks bud...I did not...but you absolutely could..I wanted the bigger version...
Good call
My first thought is “ what the hell is he doing 😳”, my second thought is “I want that!!”😂
hahahahaha
Where can I get your meat slicer, PLEASE 😢
the brand is Meater....
Hey there, thanks but I just checked Meater and I don't see a deli meat slicer listed😅
This looks awesome also ,! I love that meat slicer i have one but it aint near as good as yours ...
Hey, I like your channel and certainly didn’t mean to offend. I grew up near several delis in NYC and the standard Reuben had corned beef. If you prefer Pastrami then fine. I’m not a fan of the Reuben sauce/ pastrami combo and much prefer deli mustard.
Keep up the good work.
No offense at all....just clarifying the decision to use the words...
👀🤤
Hi Neil,I received my new omnivore top from Blackstone,I'm the one that spoke with you about my new warped top.I'm almost afraid to open it.
haahahha Hoping for better results for sure..
Start checking your local grocery stores and walmarts tomorrow. If they are hung on a lot of corned beef they will reduce the price. I have paid as little as $1.99 lb. After st. Pats day
Absolutely...best time of year
If you're interested in cleaning your slicer... get yourself some stiff bristle bottle washers.
Great idea. Only way to go. I have one for other things. Works great
1000 island dressing isn’t correct for a Reuben and the bread isn’t right either, it looks like a tasty alternative though.
A genuine Reuben must contain corned beef instead of pastrami. I prefer pastrami on its own with Swiss cheese and deli mustard on seedless rye.
???? did I say different..the title reads a Pastrami Reuben...the name reuben was used....Yes...
Where is the Pastrami video at.?? You talked so fast it's hard to hear
My other youtube channel...pellets and pits..th-cam.com/video/_8Mj0QQ1vBs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=96UKpR_6wzoLRzwC
First

is there a video of you smoking a pastrami? I've corned beef a few times...haven't done pastrami....yet!
Yes.. my other channel on TH-cam. Pellets and Pits
@@TheFlatTopKing Got it, thanks! You guys are awesome.
Yummy
