Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Being careful not to crowd the pan, add the beef in batches and sear until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes per piece. Repeat with the remaining beef, adding additional oil if needed.

Step 2

Transfer the beef to a braiser, large baking dish, or Dutch oven. Add the remaining ingredients. No need to stir or mix.

Step 3

Transfer to the oven and cook until the beef is very tender, about 3 hours.

Step 4

Shred the meat with two forks and serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
