Ingredients
Scale
For the Bowl
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 1 pound corned beef, cut into strips
- 2–3 tbsp butter
- 1 cup Swiss cheese
- Scallions, for garnish
For the Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 4 tsp horseradish
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch of pepper
Instructions
- Sauté the Corned Beef: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corned beef strips and cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they are heated through and slightly browned.
- Cook the Coleslaw Mix: Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet with the corned beef. Cover the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the cabbage blend to wilt slightly while retaining some crispness.
- Top with Swiss Cheese: Stir the corned beef and coleslaw mixture to combine evenly, then sprinkle Swiss cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again to allow the cheese to melt, or place it under a broiler briefly until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Prepare and Add Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Drizzle the dressing over the warm Reuben bowl and garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Notes
- Use sugar-free ketchup to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- If a broiler is unavailable, covering the skillet with a lid while melting the cheese works well.
- Adjust the horseradish and hot sauce amounts according to your preferred spice level.
- Leftover keto Reuben in a bowl can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop.
