Description
A delicious and hearty Jamaican pot roast that combines tender beef with a rich blend of spices and coconut milk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the allspice, thyme, paprika, and black pepper, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the roast to the pot and add the beef broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For added heat, include 1-2 chopped Scotch bonnet peppers during cooking.
- Substitute the beef chuck roast with a pork shoulder for a different flavor profile.
