1/8 tsp. Pepper
4 Bay leaves
2 tbsp. Cooking oil, such as Canola or vegetable
2 Onions, sliced
1 Clove Garlic, minced

1/2 c Vinegar or red wine (I used Red Wine Vinegar)
1/2 c Water or Beef Stock

Steps:

  • To the pot, add sliced onions, garlic and brown sugar dissolved in the vinegar or wine, water and bay leaves.
  • If using Dutch Oven: place lid over Dutch Oven, and roast in 250F oven for 6-6 1/2 hours until meat literally falls apart when you lift it from the Dutch Oven.

After 40 minutes of rocking, turn off heat and let pressure drop of its own accord. For Instant Pot, set at High Pressure for 45 minutes. After cooking, let pressure drop naturally before opening and serving.
