1

Add 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a large pot and 1 tablespoon of sugar to make Browning.

Allow the sugar to caramelize in the oil.

3

Season the beef overnight and add it to the pot once the sugar has caramelized.

Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

5

After 10 minutes, check the beef; it should have a nice brown color from the Browning.

Add warm water to the pot to cover the beef, ensuring not to add too much as the water level will rise during pressure cooking.

7

Add the seasoning that was removed from the beef back into the pot along with some fresh seasoning (scelean).

8

Cover the pot and pressure cook the beef until tender.

9

Once the beef is tender, taste several pieces to ensure even cooking.

Add some onion, a few pieces of garlic, and a little ketchup to the pot.

11

Season with a small piece of scotch bonnet pepper for flavor.

12

Allow the mixture to simmer, adding mixed vegetables (frozen) to the pot.

13

If desired, fresh vegetables like carrots or beans can be added instead of frozen.

14

Finish cooking until everything is well combined and heated through.
