Cooking Instructions

• If using a spice/coffee grinder, add all beef seasoning ingredients to the grinder and mill into a fine consistency; skip this step if not applicable.
• Place washed beef in a large bowl and add all beef seasoning ingredients.
• Add the browning sauce, chopped onions, garlic, and scallions.
• Work the seasoning into the beef to create a wet rub, preferably using your hands.
• Set aside to marinate for several hours or overnight.
• Melt the coconut oil on medium heat in a Dutch pot and add the marinated beef.
• Stir to evenly brown all beef pieces.
• Add thyme, reduce heat to low, and cover.
• Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes, monitoring liquid levels.
• If too much liquid, increase heat to high and let some evaporate while stirring occasionally.
• Add the onion mixture and sauté until soft.
• Add bell peppers, carrots, pimento, sweet potatoes, and scotch bonnet; stir to combine.
• Pour in 1 ½ cups of hot water used to marinate the meat.
• Add chopped tomato and tomato puree, stir again, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for up to an hour, adding water as needed.
