This is a family favourite that was shared over 40 years ago by our friend Clint. This easy-to-prepare roast is just as good today as it was then. Simply perfect served with rice and peas, roasted potatoes, boiled green beans, and the hot and spicy gravy the roast cooks in. Please Note: SCOTCH BONNET PEPPERS ARE HOT! (use gloves to handle and make sure to wash your hands VERY well when finished working with the peppers) 1 pepper - spicy roast 2 peppers - hot n' spicier roast 3 - on fire hot - spiciest roast

How To Make clint's jamaican pot roast

  • Step 1
    Put a cast iron pot on high heat. Add the oil and heat until smoking.
  • Step 2
    When ready, add the roast beef and sear on all sides until nicely browned.
  • Step 3
    Now lower the heat to low and season the meat with sea salt, paprika, and thyme.
  • Step 4
    In a small bowl add the garlic, onions, tomatoes, and hot peppers. Mix well and add to the top and the sides of the roast.
  • Step 5
    Cover the pot and place back on top of the stove to cook, on low heat for about 3 to 4 hours. Make sure to baste often, until the meat is tender and falls apart with a fork. You can thicken the spicy gravy if desired and serve it over hot rice or roasted potatoes and slices of the pot roast.
