Equipment

1 Large Skillet

Ingredients

1 lb cooked corned beef or pastrami (dinner cut) sliced or chopped
6 cups shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix (tricolor cabbage mix)
1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon caraway seeds optional, for that classic rye bread flavor
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
4 slices swiss
½ cup Thousand Island or Russian dressing

Instructions

Saute the Pastrami (optional). In one tablespoon of oil, saute your pastrami or corn beef to brown it. Remove it from the pan and set aside.
1 lb cooked corned beef or pastrami (dinner cut)
Sauté the Cabbage. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened but still has some crunch.

Add back in the meat, top with sauerkraut, ¼ cup thousand island and 4 Swiss slices ripped into pieces. Broil for 1-2 minutes, then drizzle with ¼ cup more thousand island and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Serve immediately.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.

Notes

Add rye or regular croutons for extra crunch (if not low-carb).
