- Transfer ribs to a side plate, add the stock to the pot, and deglaze the sediments at the bottom.
- Return the ribs to the pot, cover with lid, transfer to oven, and cook for 1 hour.
- Use oven mitts to remove the pot from the oven, discard vegetables, strain half the liquid, add to a small saucepan placed over medium-high heat, add jerk sauce bring to a boil, lower to simmer for 3 minutes, and keep warm.
- Shred the beef, add to a platter or bowl with the remaining liquid, and set aside.
