Wash the beef with the juice of half a lime and cool water, then drain and dry.

Chop the tomato, onions, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the beef, salt, ketchup, black pepper, brown sugar, ginger, green seasoning, and chopped vegetables.

Mix everything well to ensure the beef is coated in the marinade.

Marinate the beef in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

In a large pot, heat 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add the marinated beef to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a simmer, and cover the pot.

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender, stirring occasionally.
