By Tamipri

Ingredients

• Dry Rub:
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 4 Tb. salt
• 2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. black pepper
• 4 Tb. thyme
• Brisket:
• 2 large beef briskets, trimmed
• olive oil
• 2 large leeks, cut in half and sliced
• 2 large red onions, sliced
• 2 large onions, sliced
• 8 cloves garlic , smashed
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 (28 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
• 2/3 c. balsamic vinegar
• 2-4 c. chicken stock

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix all dry-rub ingredients together and rub over entire briskets with hands. Wrap briskets in plastic and refrigerate overnight.

3. Heat a large roasting pan on medium-high. Remove briskets from plastic. When pan is hot, add olive oil, and when pan is smoking hot, sear beef on each side for 5 minutes, to achieve a nice golden crust.

4. Remove briskets from pan and add leaks, onions, garlic and bay leaves. Cook until translucent. Add crushed tomatoes, vinegar, and stock. Place briskets on top of onions and cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place pan in oven and cook for 2 1/2 hours, turning briskets over halfway through the cooking process.
