Sear the Pork
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Heat a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Onions and Broth
Once the pork is browned, remove it from the pot. Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Return the pork to the pot, add the reserved marinade, chicken broth, and bay leaves.
