Trinidadian-Style Beef Pelau

Heat the oil in a pot until hot, add the sugar and let it caramelise to a dark brown, 1–2 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn.

Add the beef immediately and stir to coat in the caramel for 1–2 minutes. Lift the beef onto a plate.
- 3
Add the onion, garlic, thyme and chilli to the pot and cook for 3 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the rice, peas and carrot, then pour in the coconut milk and 100ml water.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- 6
Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender, stirring once halfway through. Stir the beef back in for the last 2 minutes.
