Tasty Beef Pelau

Learn how to make #tasty Beef Pelau, a delightful one pot rice dish found in the Caribbean, in this episode of #TastyTuesdays with Chris De La Rosa of CaribbeanPot.com We'll first brown-stew the beef then add rice, peas, coconut milk and other flavor ingredients, before allowing it to simmer until everything is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
Important: If doing this dish gluten free please go through the entire list of ingredients to make sure they meet with your specific gluten free dietary needs. Especially the Worcestershire sauce and ketchup.
For this gluten free beef pelau dish you'll need...
3 lbs beef
2 scallions

I followed your direction and my beef pelau was amazing. My mom is 87 and from Belmont; she loved it! She has dementia and it made me feel good to give her something that enabled her to remember home and family. Thank you Chris. 🤓❤

[@ashley_diaz3125]

Pumpkin is a good trini addition in most or all pelau recipes

Hi I have a question. To save time can I use kitchen bouquet instead of browning the sugar

[@juiceagent1]

[@kathytoliver]

I swear your videos have made me a bonified cook

[@gracebailey6433]

Amazing

[@Azaleasimone]

This looks good what do you serve it with?

[@felix1362]

Nice recipe

[@lookirl]

I remember the day after my dad would make a beef roast, was a pelau 💕

[@krazytrinisteve]

adebrajane I do it now

[@MilitaryBeauty]

Chris, didn't you have a green seasoning recipe on your channel? I thought I saved it and I can't find it now. Please help!

[@JayaSamaroo]

Love your videos, but curious to know if that beef cooked in 25minutes... I know beef usually takes on average an hour to cook.

[@hattietynes3071]

Hello mr. Chris how are you I enjoy your cook show I'm 24 years old I am American Bahamian jamaican-born with I'm not considered to Jamaican or behind me but I enjoy your show my husband enjoy the food that I prepare that you teach me I hope to be a long time following my name is Hattie and I enjoy you I want to know if you have any invites to come where you are to have teachings if so I would like to know thank you and God bless

[@jaykay211]

Hi Chris, how do you get the beef to be nice and tender without pressure cooking it?

[@paulinelowell-attzs5840]

steam it...or just boil it till tender

[@rebbielicious]

Hi Chris! Never even heard of pelau until watching your videos but I'm determined to make it. I can't put my hand on any gungo beans, could I use kidney beans instead? Also, would a paella pan work? Cheers!

[@QUEENAMINAH718]

Hi Chris, Why do suggest not using the bottled seasoning sold in the grocery?

[@santrin0]

what brand of knives do you use

[@lovelyek8187]

is this the same as "cookup pot"?

[@lynnrodriguez9101]

Hey Cuz, how are you? Your voice sounds shaky, I hope you're well... I'm still rockin' your recipes! Stay well and keep posting our culture to the masses! So proud of you Padnah :-)

[@juliealexis8510]

hi Chris Julie alexis here from Trinidad cunupia love this dish only thing missing is some diced pumpkin for more colours , keep on doing what you doing love you bye.

[@bibisoto9295]

What kind of beef part do use

[@mohenprosper5554]

Hey Chris. Thanks for this recipe, gonna try it on the weekend. But ill be using MP ketchup instead. To me its really the best tasting (not just saying that because its a Trinidad product) :)

[@cavavillven508]

ahahahahahah! "that flourescent green thing" ahahahaahah. Thanks for the recipe.

[@lovelyek8187]

Cava Villven lol is he talking bout chief green seasoning?

[@cavavillven508]

Not sure of the brand but he's def talking about the green seasoning lol!

[@matthew333ful]

Does any one have picture of it..

[@maxxjax6101]

What cut a beef is that Chris. Bottom Round or Top

[@leahleah3100]

Beautiful recipe.....I saute my rice with the peas and carrots as well and then I added my milk and water. No golden ray, butter or additional salted products only for health reason. But damn it tasted "wicked" 😬

[@tad561000]

Been waitin on my doubles video since 2011

[@dawnegraham7490]

I so smell that when u added in that meat 👍👍

[@eveaugustine8197]

nice man

[@Alex80baby]

hello I have a quick question may I omit the coconut milk for a bullion cube?

[@caribbeanpot]

yes you can, but keep in mind that the coconut milk gives it a unique flavor. and be mindful that bullion cubes are usually laden with sodium

[@Alex80baby]

Thanks

[@humblebeans5511]

How do you make sure the beer doesn’t overcook?

[@chukabucka]

Fantastic! i suppose the method is similar if you use chicken ent?!

[@point177]

question: why do you boil off so much liquid in the beginning, just to add it back in before you put in the rice? By the way, love the channel. I make your 20 minute curry chicken all the time, and made my own green seasoning from scratch because of you. Thanks for all the work you put in!

[@shandy9389]

Jason Hill beef is a relatively tuff meat... He does that to ensure the beef is thoroughly cooked first...

[@pataladin6519]

Hi Chris. There's nothing more to do to the dish. All it needs is some avocado. Yum😘

[@pdub69triniboy]

Pumpkin

[@lauralalchan9112]

Do you have any pamie recipe?

[@rellyfpooh7464]

Chris! This looks delicious. Can't wait to try it. Can you fo pelau with goat meat?

[@anishabahadoor9320]

Relly Fpooh nooooo not at all I don't think that would taste good. Goat is mainly for curry.

[@ekuakesewa4876]

Thank you for this recipe, can I use green peas for this recipe?

[@janikaglasgow426]

the lamb one is the best you must try

[@caribbeanpot]

thx for the recommend.. I'll try

[@maryturner6588]

Janika Glasgow love lamb! I bet that's the jam!

[@larissaandrews7866]

Is this a beef chuck. What kind of beef should I look for?

[@sherricej7133]

Renee Peaks beef chuck indeed

[@MissKatrin]

A good channel should always be only good comments I wish you all the best, my wonderful friend Our like # 418

[@pdub69triniboy]

[@LukeCageforhire]

[@sandy2009-p5t]

Hi Chris looks good , But I'm a chicken and veggie girl.LOL! Thanks for sharing! XXOO.

[@TheGorgeousMel]

[@sandy2009-p5t]

OK thanks 😊

[@RandyBrazil]

Chris, you driving me crazy. plate the dishes. Videos coming across as incomplete. We want to see the dish not in the pot. :-)

[@kiyal.3594]

He is lowkey a vampire

[@kimmirving4259]

My MoMo (now cooking for the Gods) always put a giant stick of butter, then her brown sugar, and all else that the sexy Chef did. Maybe why the women of our family are a bit plump? lol Did she do it wrong? Looks like the same recipe to me...??? ITS ALL GOOOOOD...Haaaaa

[@dawnegraham7490]

to "burn off " do not cover the pot? ?

[@caribbeanpot]

no leave it open and crank up the heat

[@angeliqueskerritt617]

dawne graham in vincy we like it a little wet.......
