Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and braise in oven for 3 ½ hours.

Once meat is done, pour gravy out of pan and place in gravy separator to separate the sauce from the fat.

Turn oven to broil and place meat under broiler for 5 minutes. Pour strained sauce over the meat and serve  immediately.

You can also refrigerate the meat overnight and skim the fat off the surface the following day. Reheat and  serve.

Note: This dish freezes beautifully.
