brown stew

Slow-cooked meat dish

Brown stew is a hearty meat dish, typically Jamaican, where chicken or beef is browned then simmered in a rich, dark gravy with onions, peppers, and Caribbean seasonings.

The browning—caramelized sugar that darkens the meat—gives it distinctive color and depth: We ordered the brown stew chicken with rice and peas.
