Ingredients
  

For the Bowl
  • 8 oz Deli Sliced Corned Beef A savory, meaty flavor essential for that authentic taste; deli turkey makes a lighter alternative.
  • 4 oz Deli Sliced Pastrami Adds an extra depth of flavor; feel free to skip if only using corned beef.
  • 1 medium Medium Sweet Onion Provides natural sweetness and depth; shallots work well if you're looking for a substitute.
  • 2 tbsp High-Heat Cooking Oil Necessary for sautéing; try avocado oil for its high smoke point.
  • 4 cups Coleslaw Mix The base for your bowl, offering crunch without the calories; avoid dressing to keep it healthy.
  • 1 cup Sauerkraut Adds tang and acidity; make sure to drain well to prevent sogginess.
  • 1 tsp Caraway Seeds Gives a touch of traditional rye flavor; optional.
  • 4 oz Swiss Cheese Melts beautifully and adds creaminess; Gruyère is a delicious alternative.
For the Topping
  • 1 tbsp Thousand Island Dressing Drizzle for creaminess; consider a light vinaigrette for a healthier option.
  • 2 tbsp Sliced Green Onions Great for garnishing; adds a burst of color and flavor.

Equipment

  • Griddle
  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Reuben In a Bowl
  1. Preheat your griddle to a temperature between 375-400°F. If using a skillet, set it to medium heat and drizzle in a small amount of high-heat cooking oil.
  2. Add the deli sliced corned beef and pastrami to the hot griddle. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the meats are heated through and slightly crisped.
  3. Sauté the sliced medium sweet onion in a separate area of the griddle for approximately 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
  4. Add the coleslaw mix to the griddle to cook alongside the meats for about 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender.
  5. Stir in the drained sauerkraut and heat for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Combine the sautéed meats and onions with the coleslaw and sauerkraut mixture, stirring together thoroughly.
  7. Distribute Swiss cheese slices evenly over the top and cover to melt the cheese, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with Thousand Island dressing, and garnish with sliced green onions.
