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

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

Add scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves to the pot.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours until beef is tender.

Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to prevent drying out.

Once beef is tender, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

Remove scotch bonnet pepper and bay leaves before serving.

Serve hot with bread or rice.
