Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1½-inch cubes

  • 1 tbsp browning sauce

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 scallions, chopped

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or Maggi seasoning

  • 2 tsp dried thyme (or 4 sprigs fresh thyme)

  • 1 tsp allspice

  • 1 Scotch bonnet pepper (whole)

  • 1 large carrot, sliced

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • 2 cups beef broth or water

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp oil, for browning

  • Cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine beef with browning sauce, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, scallions, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, then remove and set aside.

  • In the same pot, sauté onion, bell pepper, and remaining garlic until fragrant, about 4 minutes.

  • Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add beef back to the pot.

  • Pour in broth and add carrots, Scotch bonnet, and allspice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.

  • Cover and simmer for 1½ to 2 hours until beef is tender. Remove Scotch bonnet before serving.

  • Serve hot over cooked white rice.

Notes

  • For less heat, keep the Scotch bonnet whole and remove before serving.

  • Add potatoes for extra body.

  • Freezes well for up to 3 months.

  • Best served the next day when flavors have melded.
