Spicy Corned Beef

Spicy Corned Beef

Corned Beef was a way to create a meal that was fast delicious and filling. At the time corned beef was very cost effective and an ideal non perishable item to have in your pantry. Corned beef can be done so many different ways but today I will give you the basic way it is usually prepared. Jamaicans also refer to this as bully beef. Ingredients

• 1 can 12 oz corned beef (My favorite brand is Grace)
• 1 garlic clove or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ of a medium onion or 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ of a sweet pepper (green pepper)
• 1 small tomato
• ½ scotch bonnet pepper (without seed)
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Cut up onions, sweet pepper and tomato. Crush the garlic.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
3. Add onions, sweet pepper, tomato and garlic to hot oil, stirring frequently. (if using onion and garlic powder, add after corned beef in placed into pan)
4. Add corned beef, black pepper, scotch bonnet, and butter, stir frequently to mix in ingredients
5. Leave on medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until corned beef is heated through (careful not to dry it out).

Prep time: 3 mins Cook time: 5 mins Total time: 8 mins Notes Suggested serving with white rice. (Picture shows white rice with corn, garnished with a broccoli slaw)

As a child I grew up eating this dish as a quick meal at home. Another ingredient which is used regularly but was not added to my recipe is Ketchup. Depending on your liking you can add this to the corn beef for both taste and added moisture. Corn beef can be found for purchase in your local gracery store such as Publix, Aldi, Albertson, Safeway, K-Mart Super Center, Super Target and Walmart stores.
