Experience the classic flavors of a deli-style Reuben without the heavy bread. This low-carb, keto-friendly bowl features a savory base of sautéed coleslaw mix, tender corned beef, and flavorful pastrami. Topped with tangy sauerkraut and melted Swiss cheese, it is a high-protein, satisfying meal that comes together in under 30 minutes, perfect for busy weeknights or a nutritious lunch.

Ingredients

Scale

6 oz deli sliced corned beef, cut into ¾ inch squares
6 oz deli sliced pastrami, cut into ¾ inch squares
½ medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil
28 oz coleslaw mix (vegetable mix only)
1½ cup sauerkraut, drained
½ tablespoon caraway seeds (optional)
6 slices Swiss cheese
Thousand Island dressing for drizzling
Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
Add the corned beef, pastrami, and caraway seeds to the skillet, cooking until edges are slightly crispy.
Stir in the coleslaw mix and cook for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
Stir in the drained sauerkraut and cook for another 2 minutes.
Turn the heat down to low and place the slices of Swiss cheese on top of the mixture.
Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Transfer to serving bowls and drizzle generously with Thousand Island dressing before garnishing with green onions.

Notes

Ensure your sauerkraut is well-drained to prevent the bowl from becoming soggy. For a leaner dish, feel free to substitute turkey pastrami. If you are meal prepping, store the meat and cabbage mixture separately from the dressing and cheese, adding them fresh upon reheating.
