Pour in the stock and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up the brown bits. Return the beef, add the bay leaves, cover and cook in the oven for 3 hours, turning once, until it shreds with a fork.

Pull the beef apart with two forks and stir it through the juices. Bubble on the hob for 5 minutes if the gravy is thin. Remove the bay leaves.
