Sear the Beef:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper, then sear them in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics:
In the same pot, lower the heat and add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Spice It Up:
Stir in the curry powder, allspice, and paprika, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add Liquids:
Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the coconut milk, beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper (for a spicier kick). Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Simmer and Cook:
Cover the pot and let the beef simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Add the cubed potatoes in the last 30 minutes of cooking, stirring occasionally.
Adjust Seasoning:
Once the beef and potatoes are cooked through, taste the curry and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve:
