Turn the beef a few times to coat, then arrange fat side up. Cover and cook on high heat until fork-tender, about 6 hours.

In a large bowl, toss the beef with 2 cups of the cooking liquid. let stand until most of the juices are absorbed, about 10 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Serve as a main course with side dishes..
