I wasn't impressed with this recipe. The meat was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is delicious. I served it with rice and black beans.

I thought the dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but my husband really enjoyed it. I think I'll try it again using less salt next time.
