Remove meat from the pot and put into a roasting pan.
Put pan on the top rack of the oven.

Broil for 5 to 10 minutes until edges and some parts are brown and crispy.
While the meat is browning in the oven, skim the fat from the liquid in the large pot.
(Discard but do not put the fat down the drain or you will clog your pipes.)

Return the meat to the pot with the liquid.
Stir in chopped cilantro.
Seasoned Cabbage Slaw
Place thinly sliced cabbage in a medium sized bowl.
Sprinkle with seasoned rice vinegar, salt and pepper.
Let sit for 10 minutes for the cabbage to absorb some of the dressing.
