Clean the goat meat by removing excess fat.

Boil the goat meat in lightly salted water for about 1.5 to 4 hours until softened, covering with foil and a pot lid.

After boiling, check the goat meat for tenderness; it should be soft but not completely done.

Prepare seasonings: chop green pepper, onions (both red and regular), garlic, thyme, and scallion.

Heat a pot with a little oil and add all the prepared veggies.

Add hot jerk sauce to the veggies and stir.

Add the boiled goat meat along with the cooking water to the pot.

Season the goat with black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, all-purpose seasoning, and seasoned salt.

Add browning sauce to the pot and stir.

Cover the pot and let the goat simmer to absorb the flavors.

After some time, taste the goat water for seasoning and adjust if necessary, then cover and let it cook for another 20 minutes on low heat.

Check the goat meat; it should be tender and easily pulled apart.

Prepare flour water by mixing a little under 1/4 cup of flour with water, then strain it to remove lumps.

Add the strained flour water to the goat water to thicken it, stirring lightly as you add it.

Let the goat water simmer for another 15 minutes to thicken properly.
