Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup shredded green cabbage and 1 shredded medium carrot to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Butter one side of each of the 4 rye bread slices with 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided evenly.
  4. Step 4: Place two bread slices butter-side-down on the skillet. Layer 8 oz Montreal smoked meat evenly on both slices, then top with the mustard slaw.
  5. Step 5: Cover with the remaining bread slices, butter-side-up. Grill sandwiches over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until bread is golden and crispy and meat is warmed through.
  6. Step 6: Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
