Instructions
Here’s how to prepare the delicious Peppered Goat Meat step-by-step:
1. Marinate the Meat: In a large bowl, mix goat meat pieces with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground coriander, ground thyme, and salt. Make sure the meat is evenly coated.
2. Add Onions: Add the sliced onions and scotch bonnet peppers to the mix, stirring well. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Heat Oil: In a large pot or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
4. Brown the Meat: Add marinated goat meat to the pot in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear the meat on all sides until browned (around 5-7 minutes).
5. Add Water or Broth: Pour in the water or beef broth and bring to a boil. Stir to combine the flavors.
6. Simmer: Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the goat meat is tender. Stir occasionally and check to ensure there is enough liquid to prevent burning.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the broth and adjust seasoning as necessary. You can add more salt or pepper according to your preference.
8. Final Touch: Once the meat is tender, you can increase the heat to reduce the sauce if desired until it reaches your preferred thickness.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
By following these steps, you will have a dish that is as beautiful as it is delicious.
