Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef shoulder or chuck roast
  • 2 lbs beef neck bones
  • 2 lbs cow heel/feet
  • 1 cup of white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup cassareep
  • 3 sticks cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 wiri wiri pepper or 1 scotch bonnet pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and soak cow heel in 1 cup of white vinegar and some water. Let soak until ready to cook.
  • Cut beef roast into 2 inch cubes
  • Season beef and neck bones with about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and set aside
  • Warm oil in a sauté pan or skillet on medium to high heat
  • When the oil is hot, add the cubed beef roast and cook until all sides are brown, then remove from heat and set aside
  • Then add beef neck bones and sear on both sides, then remove from head and set aside
  • Add 3 cups of water to the sauté pan to help deglaze it. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any beef bits from the bottom of the pan
  • Then add the garlic, cassareep, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, onion powder, cayenne pepper, wiri wiri pepper and 1 tablespoon of salt
  • Let the sauce come up to a boil and then remove from the heat
  • Remove the cow heel from the vinegar and water mixture and rinse clean with fresh water
  • Add the cow heel to the bottom of your slow cooker, then sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the cow heel
  • Add the neck bones to the slow cooker, followed by the cubed beef then pour the sauce over the mixture
  • Cover and let cook on the lowest setting on the slow cooker for at least 8 hours
  • When the pepperpot is done cooking, skim some of the oil/fat from the top of the pepperpot before enjoying with some homemade bread.

Notes

1. You can use any combination of meat, just be careful to consider the capacity of your slow cooker and not overfill it or the meats may not cook properly.
2. I know some of you are looking at me cross eyed for not seasoning my meat with more seasoning or green seasoning, but trust me, this is all the seasoning this recipe need. Not every dish needs green seasoning, there I said it!
3. After you pour the sauce over the meat in the slow cooker, push the cinnamon sticks down to the button, so that it can flavor the sauce and not just the meat on top.
4. You may need to stir the pot up a little half way through so that the beef on the top gets into the sauce. I've only had to do this once, when I added too much beef, but didn't for this recipe.
