The most important thing in making a good Reuben sandwich is to stick to the original version, although some substitute pastrami for the corned beef. It is also important to buy a good Russian dressing, and if not, then make it yourself at home in a moment (the homemade one is better, of course).
The sauerkraut is essential, it gives it a great touch. And finally, use a good rye bread and Swiss cheese that melts luxuriously.
