The meat is boiled for 2-3 hours over medium heat or, for a quicker method, about 40 minutes in a pressure cooker. While the meat is cooking, you can prepare the other ingredients. Add a large onion, finely chopped, and a peeled carrot cut into rounds to the pot. These vegetables will not only enhance the flavor of the meat but will also contribute to the flavors of the final sauce. Once the meat is well boiled and tender, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Then, using your hands, shred the meat into thin strips, being careful not to crumble it too much to maintain the texture.

Meanwhile, you can start preparing the sauce. In a large skillet, add a little oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until it becomes glassy and slightly golden. This will form the flavorful base of the sauce, and to intensify the flavor, add a tablespoon of vinegar which will provide a pleasant contrast. After the onion has softened, pour a cup of the meat broth you obtained earlier into the skillet.

Now add the crushed garlic and roasted peppers, peeled and cut into thin strips. These ingredients will add extra flavor to the sauce, and the roasted peppers will bring a hint of sweetness. Incorporate the strips of meat into the sauce, which is already starting to develop a rich aroma. Don't forget to add the tomato sauce, which will provide a vibrant color and delicious taste.

Let the sauce simmer over low heat to allow the flavors to blend perfectly. To enhance the taste, add bay leaves, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. It is recommended to taste and adjust the seasonings according to your preferences.

After a few minutes of simmering, the sauce will become thick and full of flavors. You can serve this dish alongside a side of rice or mashed potatoes, and to complete the meal, add a fresh salad. This dish is perfect for any occasion and will surely impress your family and friends.
