Wild Reuben Toastie

Method

• 1)

  Pop black mustard seeds into your pan and leave on high heat until they start popping (should only take a few mins).

• 2)

  Once popped and aromatic, bash open the mustard seeds with a hammer, meat mallet, anything you’ve got. Keep crushing till they’re all opened up!

• 3)

  Throw 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, approx 2 teaspoons of dill seeds and 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper into mustard seeds.

• 4)

  Cut up your meat into three pieces so more of it gets covered in the rub.

• 5)

  Roll your meat in the rub.

• 6)

  If you’re cooking over fire, drizzle some ghee over the top of the rub. If cooking on a stovetop add ghee/oil straight to pan.

• 7)

  If cooking on fire, place on rack over the coals. Can cook on BBQ at approx 200C or on a stove top at high heat.

• 8)

  If you want it rare, cook on fire for approx 5 mins per side and on stovetop for approx 3 mins per side. If wanting it more well done then cook for longer.

• 9)

  Cut up your bread while you’re waiting for your meat to cook. We are using a sourdough.

• 10)

  Leave meat to rest for a few minutes once it’s finished cooking.

• 11)

  Get some sauerkraut, mayo and cheese out onto a plate/board.

• 12)

  GAME CHANGER- spread mayo onto outside of your bread.

• 13)

  Then place cheese onto outer layer inside the toastie, add some sauerkraut, some thinly sliced meat and a sprinkle of salt. Add a slice of cheese on outer layer of other side of toast too and make sure outside of lid has mayo spread on it too.

• 14)

  Place into fry pan with ghee or butter inside it, sprinkle with some salt.

• 15)

  Place heavy weight (i.e another pot or pan) on top to smash the toastie down.

• 16)

  Flip after 2-3 mins and cook on other side with weight on top.

• 17)

  After 2-3 minutes on second side, remove from pan.

• 18)

  Cut in half, and top with another sprinkle of salt!
