Braised Meat for Stews

Rinse the beef or goat meat, and place in a heavy bottom pot with the onion, scotch bonnet pepper, bullion, salt and water.

Place the braising pot on low-medium heat and boil for 30 minutes undisturbed

After 30 minutes, stir the braising meat and add water if necessary, and continue to cook for another 30 minutes.

After the meat has been cooking for about 1 hour, check the consistency to see if it has reached your desired tenderness. If it has not, cover and continue to cook for another 15 minutes or until the meat is tender.
