Preparation

Step 1

Prepare meat on all sides by patting in salt, lemon pepper, and harissa. Coat lightly with the flour on all sides.

Melt the butter and olive oil in a heavy skillet with a tight lid over medium heat. Saute garlic until translucent. Add meat and brown on both sides. Increase heat to medium high and slowly add wine. Let this sizzle for about 5 minutes. Add about 2 ½ cups of water. Cover very tightly with a lid. Double foil on top, tuck around the skillet and then put the lid on.

Put in a preheated 300°F oven for 4 to 6 hours. Check a few times to see if you need to add more water.

When the meat can be torn apart with a fork, remove from oven and tear apart. Add chili flakes and BBQ sauce and blend. Keep warm on simmer on stove top until ready to serve.
