Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the seasoned beef.

Brown the beef on all sides for 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger to the pot and sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Pour in enough water to cover the beef and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and add thyme, bay leaves, and scotch bonnet pepper.

Simmer the soup for 1-1.5 hours until the beef is tender.

Add diced carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot.

Continue to simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Remove bay leaves and scotch bonnet pepper before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley and green onions.
