3Cover the pot and cook over medium heat on the stovetop for 20 minutes.
4Uncover the pot and turn the heat up to high. Cook another 10 minutes, turning meat occasionally to prevent burning. Cook until the meat is brown on all sides and the liquid evaporates.
5Add 1 c water along with the rest of the ingredients. Cover the pot and simmer until the meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
6Skim the fat off the top and discard. Add more salt as necessary to taste.
7Serve the meat with the juices over rice, noodles, or potatoes.
