Ingredients
- 650g lean beef steak, cut into strips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 250ml beef stock
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 320g rice and peas to serve
Method
Prepare the ingredients and trim any large visible pieces of fat from the beef.
Heat the oil in a heavy pan over a medium-high heat, then brown the beef in batches so it colours rather than steams.
Add the aromatics and spices, stirring until they smell fragrant.
Add the liquids and vegetables, then simmer gently until the beef is tender and the sauce has reduced to a good serving consistency.
Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve with the suggested side. Nutrition values are estimates for planning and will vary with exact ingredients and portion size.
Reviews
Jamaican Pepper Steak is a keeper for me. Clear method, good portion size, and enough character to make it feel like travel food.
Ann CarterI liked the balance in Jamaican Pepper Steak. The beef stayed tender and the seasoning made the whole plate feel generous.
Robyn BakerThe Jamaican Pepper Steak worked beautifully and gave a real sense of Jamaica without feeling difficult for a home kitchen.
