How to Make Beer Pastrami Sandwich

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup dark beer, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 8-10 ounces of thinly sliced pastrami to the simmering sauce. Gently heat through for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring the pastrami is warmed but not overcooked.
  4. Place 4 hamburger buns, cut-side up, on an ungreased baking sheet or half-sheet pan.
  5. Divide the warmed pastrami slices evenly among 2 of the buns.
  6. Top the pastrami with 4 slices of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  7. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the broiler. Spread 2 tablespoons of mustard evenly over the pastrami on each sandwich.
  9. Carefully top with the remaining buns. Serve immediately, cut into halves or quarters, and offer extra simmering sauce for dipping.
