INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp
  • 6 tsp, leaves
  • 1 tsp
  • 1 1/2 tsp
  • 0 1/2 tsp
  • 4 lb
  • 2 stalk, medium (7-1/2" - 8" long)
  • 1 medium (2-1/2" dia)
  • 1 cup
  • 2 14 oz

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine the paprika, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a bowl. Rub the spice blend over both sides of the brisket.
  2. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add brisket and cook, turning once, until browned, about 8 minutes. Dice celery and white onion.  Add celery and onion once meat has browned and continue to cook for 1 minute while stirring. Add water, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 3 hours.
  3. Stir in tomatoes. Cook until brisket is tender, about 1 hour more. Transfer brisket to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Cut brisket across the grain into thin slices. Use a spatula to return sliced meat to Dutch oven. Simmer gently, uncovered, over medium heat until brisket is very tender and the sauce has thickened a bit, about 1 hour longer.
