The Katz's Corned Beef and Pastrami Sandwich is a classic New York City staple that has been around for over a century. It is said to be one of the best and most iconic deli sandwiches in the world. The sandwich is made with tender, juicy, and flavorful beef brisket that has been brined in a mixture of spices and salt for seven days. The pastrami is made in a similar way but has a distinct smoky flavor. The sandwich is typically served on rye bread with Russian dressing, coleslaw, and a kosher pickle. The combination of salty meats, tangy dressing, and crunchy coleslaw makes for an unforgettable taste experience that has stood the test of time.

Instructions

1.	Toast the rye bread slices to preferred level of doneness.
2.	Heat the pastrami and corned beef in a pan until heated through.
3.	For the Russian dressing, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, grated onion, horseradish, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
4.	Assemble the sandwich by placing one slice of bread on a plate and topping it with half of the corned beef, then half of the pastrami, followed by coleslaw, Russian dressing and another slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second sandwich.
5.	Serve the sandwiches with a kosher pickle on the side.
