Instructions

  1. For the Reuben in a Bowl: Cut the corned beef into 1⁄2-inch thick cubes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corned beef and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, line a plate with a paper towel. Once beef is lightly browned, transfer it to the paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet along with the onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent. Add the garlic and caraway seeds and continue cooking for 1 more minute.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil along with the coleslaw mix. Stir to combine and cook until tender but still crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Mix in the sauerkraut, corned beef, salt, and black pepper. Top with Swiss cheese and reduce heat to low. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  6. Thousand Island Dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, dill relish, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and paprika in a medium bowl. Salt to taste.
  7. Serve the warm Reuben filling in a bowl with a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Caraway Seeds. These small but mighty seeds are what give the dish the unique rye bread flavor!
  • Corned Beef. You can also use homemade corned beef and just shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Storage. Store the Reuben bowl and dressing separately in airtight containers—bowl for 4-5 days in the fridge, dressing for up to 2 weeks. You can freeze the bowl for up to 3 months, though the cabbage may change texture. Avoid freezing the dressing as the sauce will separate upon thawing.
  • Nutrition. Facts are calculated with ~1 tablespoon of dressing being used per serving. You will likely end up with ~1/4 cup of dressing remaining.
