  Increase the grill temperature to 250°F. Transfer the meat to a small roasting or baking pan (foil is fine). Scatter the onion around the beef, then pour the broth and the Traeger ‘Que Sauce into the pan around the beef. Cover the pan with foil and continue cooking until the meat is fork tender with an internal temperature of 200˚F, another 2 to 4 hours. (The wide time range is based on grill type, weather, and other factors.) Remove the baking dish from the grill and let the beef rest, still covered with the foil, for 30 minutes.
