Instructions

1
Season the Beef the night before if you can — green seasoning, salt, a scatter of scotch bonnet — and let it marinate.
2
Heat the oil in a heavy pot and burn the sugar to a dark caramel (careful: dark brown, not black) for the authentic stew base.
3
Add the Beef immediately and turn to coat in the burnt sugar, searing until sealed.
4
Add Coconut Oil and Garlic with the herbs and a splash of water, scraping the pot base.
5
Cover and simmer on a low flame until the Beef is tender and the sauce has reduced and darkened.
6
Serve hot with rice and peas, with the thick sauce spooned over everything.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
