Either is good, good corned beef seems to be easier to find round these parts than a good pastrami.
The Reuben's Deli recipe calls for thin sliced corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing, and light rye grilled up for the Rueben's Sandwich. I prefer a dark pumpernickel rye but thats just me. The Rachel is made with Pastrami.

I'm a corned beef special guy myself - corned beef on rye with coleslaw and russian dressing. The pickle has to come from the big barrel sitting next to the counter.

First either one is correct. It's made proper from a Jewish deli.
It did come with dill pickles.
The bread part,
Two slices of good quality seeded rye. Spread with a swipe of butter place on a grille or pan butter side down. Add a slice of Swiss cheese on the rye like making a grille cheese.
The meat,
Grille the pastrami or cornbeef in a pan till it's warm and the fat melts a little. Heat or warm to desired temp.
Sauerkraut,
Cook till hot. There is a Bavarian brand or version of Kraut.
Special Sauce,
I take ketchup, mix with mayo and add green relish. Or
Take thousand island dressing add mayo, green relish.
Mix and spread on the kraut side.
Assemble the sandwich on the grill then serve with quartered dill pickle.
If you like a kick in pepper and flavor pastrami is the one.
If you prefer cornbread over pastrami then go with that.
Don't forget the pickle.
Rachel or Rubin it's all so good.
Enjoy.
Those big pickle barrels in the Jewish delis with those big sour pickles are awesome.
In my hunting camp it's always pastrami rubins on opening day. But I also make roast beef wraps to eat in your deer stands too.
It's a great hunt with good friends, good food=Awesome hunt.

Just make mine with corned beef AND pastrami. One slice of rye,one slice of pumpernickel,with mustard,mayo,cole slaw and sauerkraut. Swiss,provolone,and Limburger. On the side,one dill spear,one half dill and some bread and butter slices (all homemade). Throw in some chips too,please. I call it a Raben. Guy Fieri says it's "Off the chain!"

Made 'em with corned beef an thick sliced pepper bacon last night.
I think it's corned beef from here on...
Cooked up some of the bacon for the wife this morning. She gotta say somethin', right?
"You usually make the bacon crisper." She's the queen of passive aggressive.
Well... guess I don't need to worry about cooking her bacon anymore...

Out West we use this stuff...............
maybe a touch of horse radish to pick it up a notch ?

Oh you mean the fish, at first I thought you spelled it wrong. We had a Jewish deli near where I worked, they had the best corned beef around, they would not put a slice cheese on your sandwich.
