What cut of beef is best for stewing?

—You can use any cut of beef that is suitable for braising, such as chuck or stewing beef. The key is to choose a cut that has enough fat and collagen to become tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.

Can I make this dish without the spicy pepper?

—Absolutely! The Scotch bonnet pepper is optional and can be omitted if you prefer a milder version of the dish. However, if you enjoy some heat, I highly recommend keeping it in.

How long does it take to braise the beef?

—The cooking time can vary depending on the size and type of beef you use. Generally, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours of braising to achieve fork-tender and pull-apart beef. Slow and low cooking is the key to tenderize the meat.

What can I serve with Caribbean stewed beef?

—Caribbean stewed beef pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or even with some freshly baked bread. Feel free to experiment and find your favorite combination!

Can I make this dish in advance?

—Yes, stewed beef is a great make-ahead dish. In fact, it tastes even better the next day as the flavors have a chance to meld together. Simply refrigerate it in an airtight container and reheat when ready to serve.
