This year for Christmas, Leigh Goehring gave me a copy of Stephanie Pierson's THE BRISKET BOOK and Chuck gave me a 5-quart Dutch oven (wait...that wasn't all. The Mikimoto pearl necklace put a lot of sparkle in Christmas morning). Tonight, we put them both to good use. Here's the 4.5-lb. brisket from Ottomanelli's after Chuck browned it with brute force.
