Test Kitchen Notes

Jamaican Bully Beef, or, boiled beef (a name derived from the French bouilli) is comprised of canned corned beef, bell and scotch bonnet peppers for vegetal crunch and heat, and browning—a caramelized sugar sauce that adds a bit of sweet levity to the deeply savory dish. Serve it all over rice to catch all the delicious, saucy bits. —Food52
