Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ingredients for the broccoli slaw, including mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, celery seeds, and poppy seeds. Whisk until blended. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly butter one side of each slice of rye bread. Sear the pastrami for about 1 minute on each side until warmed through.
  3. Spread Russian dressing on the unbuttered sides of each slice of rye bread. Layer the warm pastrami, chilled broccoli slaw, and Swiss cheese on the bottom slice, then top with the second slice.
  4. Toast the assembled sandwich in the skillet over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  5. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve hot with dill pickles.
