Ingredients

Scale

For the Bowl

  • 1 bag coleslaw mix (about 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 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 it becomes foamy, preparing the pan for sautéing the corned beef.
  2. Sauté Corned Beef: Add the strips of corned beef to the skillet and sauté them, covered, for about 5 minutes until they are heated through and slightly browned for enhanced flavor.
  3. Add Coleslaw Mix: Layer the coleslaw mix on top of the corned beef in the skillet, cover again, and cook for another 5 minutes until the coleslaw is slightly wilted but still retains some crunch.
  4. Combine and Melt Cheese: Stir the corned beef and coleslaw mixture together to combine evenly. Then, top the mixture with the Swiss cheese. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly or optionally, broil it briefly until the cheese becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
  5. Prepare Dressing and Serve: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to create a tangy dressing. Drizzle this dressing over the cheesy corned beef and coleslaw bowl, garnish with freshly sliced scallions, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free ketchup to keep this recipe keto-compliant and low in carbohydrates.
  • Adjust the level of horseradish and hot sauce according to your spice preference.
  • For a crispier texture, do not overcook the coleslaw mix; it should be slightly wilted but retain some crunch.
  • Broiling the cheese topping is optional but adds a nice bubbly finish.
  • This meal is ideal for a quick lunch or dinner, ready in about 20 minutes.
