Return meat to pot, nestling it in onion mixture and spooning some tomatoes on top; return to a simmer. Cover and cook until meat is very tender when pierced with a fork, 1 1/2 to β±οΈ 2 hours (check occasionally to ensure itβs simmering steadily). Uncover pot, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer vigorously until sauce is thickened, 15 to β±οΈ 20 minutes.

Remove meat from pot and slice or shred. (Alternatively, let meat cool in sauce.) Meat can be braised up to 4 days ahead of serving. Reheat in sauce.
