Ingredients

Scale

For the Main Dish

  • 1 bag coleslaw mix (approximately 14 oz)
  • 1 pound corned beef, cut into strips
  • 23 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded or sliced
  • Scallions, sliced, for garnish

For the Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
  • 4 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the Butter: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy to create a flavorful base for cooking the corned beef.
  2. Sauté the Corned Beef: Add the corned beef strips to the skillet, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned.
  3. Add and Wilt Coleslaw Mix: Layer the coleslaw mix over the corned beef without stirring, cover again, and cook for another 5 minutes until the coleslaw softens and wilts, blending with the beef flavors.
  4. Combine and Melt Cheese: Stir the beef and coleslaw together, then top with the Swiss cheese. Cover the pan to melt the cheese thoroughly, or place the skillet under a broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  5. Prepare and Add Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Drizzle generously over the cheesy beef and coleslaw mixture.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced scallions on top for freshness and a mild onion flavor. Serve the Keto Reuben warm directly from the skillet or in serving bowls.
