Jamaican pepper steak, one of my favourite meat dishes. I use to love when my grandmother prepare this dish for Sunday dinner. It is a very delicious dish and you will love it too. 

Jamaican spices just as scotch bonnet pepper, pimento (allspice) and ginger is combine to gives this dish its great flavour.

Ketchup is traditionally used to help thicken the gravy, which I have used in the recipe below but you can replace it with cornstarch if you rather.

I always enjoy making pepper steak, reminds me of my grandmother, and you will enjoy it too.
