Sear the salted beef in a pot for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Add the seared beef to a pressure cooker with water and a few garlic cloves, then pressure cook for about 30 minutes.

Transfer the beef and peas from the pressure cooker back to the pot without rinsing it.

Add half a cup of coconut milk to the pot and bring it to a boil.

Add spinners (dumplings) to the pot and stir well.

Add more scallions, thyme, garlic cloves, sweet pepper, pimento seeds, and scotch bonnet pepper to the pot.

Optionally add a teaspoon of dark soy sauce or tomato paste.

Add a tablespoon of butter to the pot.

Cover and let it cook for 15-20 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until done.
