Fresh herbs, dried spices and mushroom soy kick up the flavor! I always serve this with Jamaican Rice and Peas.

Categories     Roasts

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 lb beef shoulder or boneless chuck roast (well-marbled is best!)
12 pimento seeds (also known as alspice)
1/2 scotch bonnet (or less), seeded and diced
3-4 sprig(s) fresh thyme, cut in small pieces, including stalks
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 stalk(s) green onion, cut in thin slices
2 Tbsp fresh garlic, diced
1/4 c mushroom soy (found in asian cooking section)
1 1/2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Wash roast and pat dry with paper towel. Place in flat pan and let stand to room temperature.
  • 2. Use a mortar and pestle to coarsely crush alspice seeds. Set aside. (diy mortar and pestle: coffee cup and thin glass bottle such as a hot sauce bottle.)
  • 3. USE DISPOSABLE PLASTIC GLOVES WHEN HANDLING PEPPER! Cut pepper in half. Cut out fibers and seeds inside. Cut pepper into thin strips,stack and cut into tiny pieces. Set aside. CAUTION: THE OIL THAT COMES FROM THE PEPPER DURING DICING IS VERY HOT. WASH KNIFE AND CUTTING SURFACE IMMEDIATELY AND TOSS GLOVES IN GARBAGE.
  • 4. Combine crushed alspice pods, scotch bonnet, onions, garlic and mushroom soy in small bowl. You will use this to season the roast.
  • 5. Make small 1 1/2 - inch (wide and deep) slits in the roast. Fill the slits with the herb seasoning mixture. Reserve extra seasoning mixture.
  • 6. Heat 2 T. oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place roast in oil and brown in pot, all over, several minutes on each side. Tip: Don't move the roast while a side is browning, or it won't brown well.
  • 7. When roast is browned, pour the remainder of the sauce over the roast plus 1 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cover.
  • 8. Place in 300 degrees F oven for 15 minutes, then drop to 225 degrees F. Cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or longer, until meat is tender.
