Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (12 oz) Corned Beef
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 stalks Scallions (Green Onions), chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1 medium Tomato, chopped
- 1 Habanero Pepper, chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp Thyme, fresh or dried
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
Instructions
- Heat the pan: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the ingredients evenly.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the cooking oil to the pan and sauté the onions, scallions, garlic, and bell pepper until they are softened and fragrant, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add corned beef: Open the canned corned beef and break it into chunks. Add it to the skillet and stir to combine it well with the sautéed vegetables.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the chopped tomato, thyme, and habanero pepper if using. Stir thoroughly and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the tomato to soften.
- Season and simmer: Taste and season the mixture with black pepper as needed. Allow the dish to simmer gently until the beef is heated through and the vegetables are tender, ensuring full flavor integration.
- Finish with garnish: Sprinkle a touch of extra thyme or add a dash of hot sauce on top for an added layer of flavor.
- Serve: Serve the Jamaican Bully Beef alongside rice, hard dough bread, or your preferred accompaniment for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can omit the habanero pepper for a milder dish or adjust the quantity according to your preferred spice level.
- This dish pairs exceptionally well with steamed white rice, hard dough bread, or fried dumplings.
- For variation, you can add additional vegetables like carrots or peas based on what’s available in your fridge.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
