Description

This Keto Reuben in a Bowl is a low-carb twist on the classic Reuben sandwich, deconstructed into a satisfying bowl. Featuring tender corned beef sautéed with butter and layered with fresh coleslaw mix, melted Swiss cheese, and a tangy homemade dressing, this dish delivers all the traditional flavors without the carbs from bread. Easy to prepare on the stovetop, it’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner that fits a ketogenic lifestyle.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bowl

  • 1 bag of 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

  1. Melt Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter until foamy. This provides a flavorful base for cooking the corned beef.
  2. Sauté Corned Beef: Add the corned beef strips to the skillet, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes until the meat is heated through and slightly browned, enhancing its flavor.
  3. Add Coleslaw Mix: Layer the coleslaw mix evenly on top of the cooked corned beef, cover again, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cabbage wilts slightly but retains some crunch.
  4. Mix and Melt Cheese: Stir the corned beef and coleslaw together in the skillet, then sprinkle 1 cup of Swiss cheese over the mixture. Cover to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly or use the broiler to get a bubbly finish.
  5. Prepare Dressing and Garnish: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to create a tangy dressing. Drizzle this over the cheesy skillet mixture and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.

Notes

  • For additional crunch, do not overcook the coleslaw; it should be slightly wilted.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use sugar-free ketchup to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
