This is necessary for the depth of flavor on this tough cut, which also requires long, slow braising for tenderness. But the bonus with this dish, unlike with brisket, is there is no extra slicing needed before reheating, only removing the fat that solidifies on top after it's been refrigerated. And don't let the many ingredients scare you.
