Notes

  • You can use any type of beef for this recipe, but I recommend using chuck roast or stew meat.
  • If you don't have an oven-safe pot, you can cook the rice on the stovetop over low heat until the rice is cooked through.
  • For a spicier dish, you can add more scotch bonnet pepper or use a hotter pepper.
