About Jamaican pepper steak

Jamaican Pepper Steak is a flavorful dish originating from the rich culinary traditions of Jamaica. This savory meal features tender strips of beef seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices and cooked alongside bell peppers, onions, and sometimes tomatoes. The dish is typically flavored with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and scotch bonnet peppers or other chili options for a hint of heat. Its rich, umami-filled sauce pairs well with rice or vegetables, making it a balanced option for dinner. From a nutritional perspective, Jamaican Pepper Steak offers a good source of lean protein from the beef and vitamins from the colorful bell peppers. However, depending on the preparation, it can be high in sodium due to soy sauce and seasonings. Choosing low-sodium alternatives and leaner cuts of beef can make the dish more heart-healthy while retaining its bold and traditional Caribbean flavors.
