Instructions
Step 1: Season the Rib Eye
Wash and pat dry the rib-eye slices. Season generously with paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, complete seasoning, jerk seasoning and a splash of browning sauce, and mushroom soy sauce. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes—or overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 2: Brown the Meat
Heat oil, 7 pimento, thyme, 2 cloves garlic and scotch bonnet pepper in a large skillet or Dutch pot. Sear the rib eye slices on both sides until they get a nice caramelized crust. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Build the Stew Base
In the same pot, sauté onion, scallion, garlic, bell pepper, and thyme until fragrant. Add in carrots and potatoes. Stir in ketchup and an extra splash of browning sauce for richness.
Step 4: Add the Steak Back
Return the rib eye slices to the pot. Stir well so they’re coated in the seasoning mix. Pour in beef broth (or water) to just cover the meat.
Step 5: Simmer to Perfection
Lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the steak is tender and the sauce thickens into a rich gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
