from the grill or oven

Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan. Sauté the onion and garlic for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, dried herbs, fennel seeds, vinegar, mustard, and cinnamon. Then stir in the sugar, chili flakes, syrup, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced slightly. Place the meat in a shallow dish and pour the sauce over it. Marinate for at least three hours, turning frequently. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the meat on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and cook for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 190°C and cook for a further 20 minutes, brushing with the marinade frequently. And in summer, simply place it on the grill.
