Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ pounds Beef Stew Meat diced into small ½ chunks
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 1 cup Baby Carrots sliced
  • 1 Red Pepper seeds removed and diced.
  • 1 Green Pepper
  • 2 Jalapenos seeded and diced
  • 2 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 Can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • ¼ cup Pineapple Juice
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • ½ teaspoon Allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Pepper Sauce
  • 4 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Steak Sauce such as A-1
  • 2 cups White Rice Long Grain
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Green Onions

Instructions
 

  • In a Dutch oven add the olive oil and heat over medium to high heat.
  • Season beef with salt and pepper. Add beef to Dutch oven and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the onions, peppers, carrots, jalapenos, and garlic. Stir to combine. Cook this for 10 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the fire-roasted tomatoes to the beef mixture, and toss to combine.
  • Add the chicken broth, ground allspice, cinnamon, hot pepper sauce, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and steak sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat. Adjust seasoning if needed. Reduce heat to low and cook for 1 hour. Garnish and serve with rice.

Notes

Tomato Variation: While this recipe calls for the use of fire-roasted tomatoes, you can use your favorite simple diced tomatoes too.
Herbs Removal: If you want, you can also remove the bay leaves and the thyme from the stew before you serve it.
Flavor Boosters: I also like to add some extra carrots and garlic into the stew- I find that they just add so much more flavor, to the stew.
Slow Cook Without Dutch Oven: For Jamaican beef stew without a Dutch oven, use your slow cooker like Crock Pot to meld flavors beautifully. Slow cooker meals ensure tender beef and rich, spicy aromas with patience.
