Wash beef with juice of half a lime and cool water; drain and dry.

Season beef with sea salt, black pepper, Caribbean green seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato ketchup; mix well.

Heat 1.5 tablespoons of light olive oil in a pot over high heat until shimmering.

Add golden brown sugar and let it melt until it turns amber in color, being careful not to let it burn.

Add seasoned beef to the pot and bring to a boil.

Add 3-4 cups of water to the bowl where the beef was marinated to pick up leftover marinade; pour into the pot.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15 minutes with the lid slightly ajar.

Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high to burn off excess liquid, stirring occasionally.

Once the liquid has reduced, add more water if necessary and bring to a boil.

Add scallions and fresh thyme to the pot and continue to cook until beef is fork-tender.
