I don’t have beef very often but when I do I want to be creative. I usually make jerk chicken but I wanted to make jerk beef with my own little twist. I’m half Jamaican and I enjoy cooking things from my mother’s country of origin and creating a twist on it.
The jerk gravy complemented the tender beef. I love mushrooms with beef. In addition, the buttery, herby mash also makes a great contribution. The sweet cherry tomatoes just brighten the dish and make it look vibrant.
