Ingredients
- Beef roast (e.g., chuck or brisket)
- Jerk marinade (Scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, thyme, garlic, onion, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper) Alternative Jamaican Jerk Marinade Seasoning Sauce
- Vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, onions, etc.)
- Cooking oil
- Water or beef broth
Instructions
- Prepare the jerk marinade and marinate the beef roast for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
- In a slow cooker or crockpot, add the marinated beef roast, vegetables, and enough water or beef broth to partially cover the roast.
- Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.
- Serve with traditional Jamaican sides, such as rice and peas or fried plantains.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by using more or fewer Scotch bonnet peppers, or by substituting a milder pepper variety.
- Consider pairing the dish with island-inspired beverages, such as Jamaican rum punch or ginger beer, and finish off your meal with a Caribbean dessert, like Jamaican rum cake or coconut drops.
