Preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Peel the onion and cut it in half. Wash the orange and squeeze out the juice. In a cocotte dish, mix the meat, salt, pepper, bay leaf, onion, lime juice, orange juice and peel (without seeds), adding enough water to just cover the meat. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
