1

Wash the beef with lemon juice, cold water, and vinegar; transfer to a bowl for seasoning.

2

Season the beef with oil, mixed herbs, salt, all-purpose seasoning, freshly cracked black pepper, salon (optional), Jamaica red seasoning, and a heaping tablespoon of homemade green seasoning; mix well and let marinate (overnight is best).

3

In a pot, heat oil and add brown sugar; allow it to caramelize until it reaches a rich dark color.

4

Add the marinated beef to the pot without mixing; cover and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow color to stick to the beef.

5

After a minute, mix the beef and cover for another 5 minutes until the liquid at the bottom dries up.

6

Add ketchup and water to the pot; mix in more homemade green seasoning, ginger slices, and a cinnamon stick for extra flavor.

7

Cook on low for about an hour, depending on the beef used; remove the cinnamon stick after cooking.

8

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
