Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1.5 Pounds stew meat
- 1-2 carrot Cubed
- 4-5 yellow potato Cubed, or red potato
- 1 onion Diced
- 1 green bell pepper Cubed
- 1 tomato Diced
- 16 Ounce beef broth
- 2 Scotch bonnet peppers
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
Marinade
- 3 garlic Minced, cloves
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, cumin, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg with about ¼ cup of the beef broth and mix to combine.
- Add the cubed stew meat to the marinade and mix well. Cover and marinade while you prepare the rest of the dish, or overnight.
- Prep the potatoes and veggies by dicing the onion and tomato and cutting the bell pepper, carrot, and potatoes into large chunks. Leave the Scotch Bonnet peppers whole.
- Heat a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter. When the butter is melted, remove the meat from the marinade with a slotted spoon and add to the Dutch oven. Reserve the marinade.
- Once the meat is browned on all sides, add in the onion and bell pepper and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Add reserved marinade, remaining beef broth, carrot, potatoes, Scotch Bonnet peppers, tomato paste, and tomato. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the stew, partially covered, for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Taste the stew and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
