  7. Pour in beer, orange juice, and lime juice.
  8. Then cover and cook for 3-4 hours depending on size of roast. Check several times.

  14. Pour in the tomato mixture and simmer, stirring until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. (You can always add some tomato paste to help thicken the sauce.)
  15. Stir in the chicken broth and boil the sauce over until slightly thickened.
