This Caribbean Beef Stew is one of those recipes that I was just hoping would work for what I needed at the moment.
Our family had been invited to join an ethnic night with a few other families and the theme was Caribbean food. I forgot to find recipes until the day before. So… this is one of the first recipes that I found in a very quick search that had ingredients I knew I could find in 24 hours.
This Caribbean Beef Stew ended up being one of the best dishes I’ve ever made. It tastes like something that you would find at a restaurant that you would have over rice, or eaten with some sort of delicious flat bread.
What I especially loved about this was that the flavors were pretty simple. Just a few simple spices that make for a delicious and thick stew.
Because some of the reviews mentioned the meat being over-done while the sweet potatoes are not done yet after 7 hours. I made sure to check that the sweet potatoes were getting liquid so that they could cook and they did fine, only needing 5 hours for everything to be cooked perfectly.
