Preparation and Cooking
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.
- Wash the lettuce and pat completely dry. Chop uniformly and divide the crisp chopped green lettuce evenly among two shallow bowls.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the unsalted butter. Add the thinly sliced corned beef and let it sit undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred crispy edges form. Toss gently.
- Push the hot meat into two distinct mounds in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and drape 2 slices of white Swiss cheese over each mound. Place the wet pale yellow sauerkraut in the empty spaces of the skillet. Cover with a lid for 60 seconds until the cheese is gooey and melted.
- Using tongs, transfer the cheesy corned beef onto the crisp lettuce beds. Add the warm sauerkraut next to the meat. Generously drizzle with the thick pale-orange Russian dressing. Garnish with dark caraway seeds and finely chopped fresh green parsley.
Notes
Dry the Lettuce Completely: Ensure the lettuce base is bone-dry before plating so it doesn't water down the dressing.
Leave the Kraut Wet: The tanginess of the wet brine mingles beautifully with the rich dressing and meat.
