Note: Simmering may cause the tomato sauce to dry up quickly depending how strong your flame is, you have the option to add a little water while simmering for 2 reasons. One is if you want the meat tender, simply add water and simmer for another 15-20 min or just a few table spoons  to lessen the thickness of the sauce and increase the volume of the sauce.
