Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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

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 it becomes foamy, creating a flavorful base to sauté 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 the beef is heated through and slightly browned.
  3. Add and Wilt Coleslaw Mix: Layer the coleslaw mix over the warmed corned beef without stirring, cover the pan again, and cook for another 5 minutes to soften and slightly wilt the coleslaw, melding it with the beef flavors.
  4. Combine and Melt Cheese: Stir the beef and coleslaw together in the skillet, then top with Swiss cheese. Cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly, or place the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  5. Prepare and Add Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Drizzle this dressing generously over the cheesy beef and coleslaw mixture in the bowl.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced scallions on top for freshness and mild onion flavor. Serve the Keto Reuben warm directly from the skillet or transferred to serving bowls.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free ketchup to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
  • Adjust the amount of horseradish and hot sauce to your spice preference.
  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with another melty cheese if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
