Dry the meat on kitchen paper and cut it into four pieces to make it easier to fit into the pot. Season the surfaces generously with salt and pepper.
Place the meat in the casserole and add the chopped onion, meat stock, all the spices and the lime juice.
Simmer gently under the lid for about 8 hours. Check occasionally that the stock does not dry out. Add more water if this happens.
Using two forks, tear the pulled beef in a pot. Stir in the rest of the broth and serve barbacoa with lime wedges.
