Season the pork leg steak with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground pimento.

Marinate the pork in dark soy sauce for a couple of hours in the fridge.

Heat oil in a stainless steel pot until hot.

Sear the pork on all sides until browned, then remove it from the pot.

Caramelize 2 tablespoons of sugar in the pot until frothy, then add aromatics: garlic, onion, pimento, scallion, carrot, and Irish potato.

Sauté the aromatics for a few minutes until fragrant.

Pour in the remaining marinade, ketchup, and chicken stock.

Add the pork back into the pot along with any resting juices.

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to very low, cooking for 1.5 to over 3 hours until tender.

Check occasionally to ensure it’s not burning and flip the meat for even cooking.

Add fresh scotch bonnet pepper and fresh thyme towards the end of cooking for flavor.
