Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then mix in the granulated and brown sugars until combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing vigorously. Then add the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together. Gradually whisk into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Remove the pan from the oven and layer the sliced strawberries over the fudgy brownie layer.
  2. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the strawberries and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Ganache
  1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it simmers, then remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth.
  2. Let the brownies cool completely, then pour the ganache over the top.
