Lower the oven to 300 degrees. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and scatter the garlic and onions around the meat. Add the stock and enough water reach about 1/2 inch deep in the roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and return the meat to the oven and continue to cook until fork- tender, about 3 hours more.
