Method
Preparation
- 1
Cook the Corned Beef
If you haven't prepared the corned beef yet, cook it by boiling in a large pot of water for about 3 hours, or until tender. Once cooked, remove from the pot and let it cool before slicing thin.

Prepare the Sauerkraut
Drain the sauerkraut and gently squeeze to remove excess liquid. Set aside.
- 3
Make the House Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, and a pinch of salt. Adjust flavors to taste. This will be your house sauce.
