Add in onions, celery and allspice to Dutch oven. Season with salt; cook till onions are golden brown, stirring often, about 25 min.

Transfer onion mix to large roasting pan. Add in 1 c. broth mix to Dutch oven.
- Bring to boil, scraping up browned bits; transfer to roasting pan.
- Season brisket generously with salt and pepper. Add in to Dutch oven and brown over high heat, about 5 min per side. Place brisket, fat side up, on onion mix in roasting pan; surround with bones. Add in remaining broth mix and tomatoes to Dutch oven; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Pour mix over brisket.
