Jamaican-style beef stew, a dish that's also called stew beef, is a rich braise of beef and vegetables in a sauce seasoned with caramelized sugar and allspice. A few shortcut ingredients in this version help build a sauce that will perfume your house as it cooks with sweet, savory and spiced flavor.

Jamaican Beef Stew

canola oil

sugar

beef top sirloin steak,

plum tomatoes,

carrots,

celery ribs,

green onions, chopped

beef broth

barbecue sauce

soy sauce

steak sauce

garlic powder

thyme

allspice

pepper

hot pepper sauce

In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sugar; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 minute. Add beef and brown on all sides.

Stir in the vegetables, broth, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, steak sauce and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat and vegetables are tender, 1 to 1-1/4 hours.

Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into stew. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. If desired, serve with rice or potatoes.

This was amazing. I have to admit I tweaked quite a bit. I put in two cans of chopped tomatoes and stewing steak and left it in the slow cooker for 8 hours. I also used a jerk seasoning and brown sauce instead of steak sauce. I made this on a bigger scale than the recipes called for and there was probably enough to feed 8. I served it with sweet potato mash that I'd added some jerk seasoning to. Very easy recipe to make how you'd like, I didn't follow the measurements at all and just did it by tasting.

We loved this recipe.  I halved it for the two of us, omitted the steak sauce because I had none, and substituted dried crushed rosemary for the thyme and chopped yellow onion for the green onion.  (I prefer not to cook with green onions because they turn unattractively yellowish.)  I garnished each serving with the chopped green onions and served the stew over garlic mashed potatoes.

Awesome flavorful stew! A great addition to a healthy lifestyle, and a family favorite.

I used elk meat, 2 300ml cans of fire roasted tomatoes to be lazy  and used a full 300ml can beef broth, otherwise followed the recepie and it was delicious.

This is similar to how I have been making my stew beef...but I use short ribs instead, and dice potatoes and make spinners to cook down in the stew, and finally, instead of hot pepper sauce, I use a scotch bonnet pepper for better flavour.  I don't use beef broth or corn starch or bbq sauce or steak sauce...not necessary.

This recipe is really good.  My mother-in-law made it for us one weekend and we all loved it.  We have added some black eyed peas to the recipe to pump up the fibre and they go well together.

My husband loved this. I did not use the tomato's called for in the recipe but used a can of diced tomato's with jalapeno's. Will make this again for sure!

Lovely dish! Cooked today for family. So much flavour! Easy to do and I added spinners to mine as well just to make everyone happy :)

I was looking for a recipe with a different flavor and WOW!! OMG did I ever find it. It is a great cold weather dish. I will definitely make this dish again!

My husband and adult son love this. I prepared everything the night before and put it in the slow cooker 8 hrs on low.  It was wonderful!!  To save time I used baby carrots.  Also added just a little powdered Jamaican jerk seasoning to kick it up a knotch.

Wow...this is so delicious! I made it almost exactly as written, except that I didn't have any beef, so I used pork, and I didn't have green onions, so I used about 1/4 cup white onion. There is so much flavor in this stew! I like spicy, so I used about a teaspoon of hot sauce. I will make this on a regular basis. YUM!!!

This was a fabulous stew!  I had to leave out the allspice, and I used top round steak instead of sirloin, but otherwise, I followed the recipe.  I browned the beef in the sugar and oil as it said, but instead of making it on the stove, I cooked it in my electric pressure cooker on the soup/stew setting for 30 minutes.  Perfection!   I made it for lunch, and my kids ate it up.  We served it over 1/2 cup of brown rice stirred in with a little cheddar cheese on top.  Delicious!  Even my very picky daughter rated it a 9 out of 10.  Yummy!

Wonderful recipe. Do yourself a favor and add 1/4 cup more beef broth if you're serving over rice. Also added 1 tsp of kitchen bouquet. It really blended the flavors nicely.

This was outstanding! We substituted lean stew meat and I left out the steak sauce because we had none and doubled the spice. We rarely eat red meat but this recipe will have us coming back again and again.

I decided try this beef stew, because my usual beef stew recipe is much too high in calories, but I miss it when trying to lose weight. While I still like my old recipe, this one, in some ways, is better, even though it is very different. This is a recipe to reuse. While another person suggested the seasonings like the BBQ sauce and the steak sauce were not necessary, I thought they added a lot.The only drawback to this is smelling it while it cooks and you are hungry. It is sort of like torture to smell it and not be able to eat it because it needs to cook longer! If you can put up with that, it will not disappoint.

Looks delicious, smells delicious and taste even more delicious. The aroma in the house draws everyone to the kitchen and it just makes you get more hungry by just smelling it
