Categories     Beef

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lb. Corned Beef Brisket, flat cut
1 head of cabbage
Pizza dough (we used 3 Trader Joe's pizza dough balls, in traditional white)
4 tablespoons butter
1 egg white
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon roasted garlic
½ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Boil the brisket in a large pot of water, making sure to keep the pot full (this helps rid the brisket of unnecessary salt content). For a tender brisket, boil around 3 hours. (It is normal for the brisket to reduce in size over this time period). Thinly shred 1 head of cabbage. A mandolin is preferable, but you can also use a chopping knife. You'll find that one head yields a whole lotta cabbage-we needed two pans to cook it all. Here's a picture of one of the pans, after the cabbage has been simmering for about 30 minutes. Take care to use low, low heat, so that the cabbage doesn't brown, it just glistens and softens (we used about 2 tablespoons of butter for each pan, and a little salt and pepper to taste).When your brisket is tender, slice it thinly (removing any of the gristle), cutting against the grain. Place it on a rolled out Trader Joe's pizza dough. Put about 1 cup of cooked cabbage over the brisket.(Alt, we added sliced swiss cheese). Roll the dough into a stromboli. Place the stromboli on a baking sheet (we lined ours with cornmeal-flour works well, too) so that the folds are on the bottom of the sheet (this prevents the dough from opening in the oven). Cut a few openings up top too, so your stromboli doesn't explode while it is baking. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and repeat the steps above to make two more loaves. Next, whisk an egg white in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the poppy seeds, garlic and sea salt. Place the loaves in oven for roughly 30 minutes.
