STEW BEEF

INGREDIENTS

2lbs stewing beef, cut into bite sized cubes
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 orange or yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite sized cubes (about 8 total cubes per potato)
Olive oil (or any other desired oil)
3 tbsp Garlic Plus seasoning (Available at Costco)
1 1/2 tbsp Cool Runnings Caribbean Spice
1-2 tbsp Browning sauce
1 1/2 tbsp ground black pepper
2 tsp Jamaican-style curry powder
1 tsp hot chili powder
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 cup Maggi or soya sauce
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp dried Thyme (or 3 sprigs if using fresh Thyme)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp scotch bonnet pepper sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. Put beef cubes in mixing bowl with warm water and soak for 15 minutes. Then kneed the beef to extract blood and drain. Leave beef in the bowl.
2. Add 1/2 a centimeter of oil to medium pot and heat on medium heat.
3. Add Garlic Plus, Caribbean spice, browning sauce, pepper, Jamaican curry powder, hot chili powder, Paprika, Maggi/soya sauce and garlic paste to the beef cubes. Mix with clean hands (or spoon) until well mixed and beef is coated.
4. Add seasoned beef to pot of heated oil and cook on medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. KEEP ANY JUICES FROM BEEF LEFTOVER IN THE MIXING BOWL!
5. While beef is cooking, add all vegetables (potatoes, onion and peppers) to the mixing bowl and mix to coat with leftover beef seasoning sauce.
6. After beef has been cooking for 15 minutes, carefully empty juices from the pot into the mixing bowl with the veggies, leaving the beef in the pot. Mix the veggies and coat with the added juices and keep aside to marinade.
7. With beef still in the pot, add water up to about 1 inch from the top of the pot. Add Thyme and stir. Cover pot with lid and boil for 1 hour. Check about every 10 minutes and stir to avoid sticking.
8. Add veggies and stir. Add more water until the water level is just above everything. Cover and cook on medium-high heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water (if needed) to prevent sticking.
9. Remove pot from heat. Add Scotch bonnet pepper sauce and stir. Add ketchup and stir. Serve as is, with rice or desired side dish.
