Cayman-Style Beef

Cayman-style beef is a traditional dish from the Cayman Islands consisting of extremely tender shreds of beef combined with onions, garlic, Scotch Bonnet peppers, salt, and pepper. The beef should ideally be freshly slaughtered, and before the preparation it's recommended to allow it to sit covered in the refrigerator. The beef is slowly-cooked for a few hours in order to soak up the flavorful juices. Also known as stewed beef, the dish is especially popular during holidays such as Christmas.
