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.
6 cups shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix (tricolor cabbage mix), 1-2 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked cabbage into four meal prep containers. Top each with pastrami or corn beef, about ¼ cup sauerkraut, 1 tablespoon thousand islands, and one slice Swiss cheese.
1 cup sauerkraut, drained, 4 slices swiss, ½ cup Thousand Island or Russian dressing
You can put them in the fridge as is and microwave them when ready to eat, OR what I did was broil them for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese, top with another tablespoon of Thousand Island, and sprinkle with a few more caraway seeds. Store in airtight meal prep containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes (leave off the dressing until after heating).
1 cup croutons

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