Buccaneers Turtle Steak Cayman Brac Style Recipes
BUCCANEER'S TURTLE STEAK, CAYMAN BRAC STYLE
Supplied by Barbara Currie Dailey She learned how to cook turtle steak from Mrs. Rita Scott in Cayman Brac, 25 years ago, by pestering her and watching her in the kitchen of the old Buccaneer's Inn. There, she and fellow cook, Mrs. Eloise Scott, created wonderful Caymanian dishes that fed hoards of voracious divers. But it was turtle steak that was the Buccaneer's Inn's signature dish, served on Sundays back then, if turtle was available, it was brought in on Saturdays. Many guests ate and relished this delicious seafood (which most thought was fine veal) before they discovered what it was. But after tasting turtle, they couldn't resist. Except for prime cuts of "fillet," which are not easy to come by, turtle steak must be well tenderized before cooking-like beef round steak. Use the toothed side of a meat mallet and pound both sides, breaking all sinews, until each piece is only about an inch thick. Servings: 4 to 6

Steps:
- Tenderize the turtle steak, pounding both sides well with a meat mallet, until pieces are only about an inch thick. Sprinkle with lime juice, 2 teaspoons garlic powder and black pepper and refrigerate for an hour. Heat oil over medium high heat in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven until hot and brown the turtle steak on each side. Add onions and sweet peppers and cook until vegetables start to soften, stirring frequently so they don't scorch. Add remaining ingredients and stir well, reduce heat to low and simmering and cover. Cook for an hour or until turtle is fork tender and sauce is reduced and thickened. Serve with hot white rice or rice n' peas.

12 CAYMANIAN DISHES YOU NEED TO TRY - THIS IS CAYMAN
From thisiscaymantv.com
- Conch Stew. A type of sea snail, conch is delicious in a stew, soup, fritters or in a salad. Typically known as the national dish in the Bahamas, Cayman conch is equally as appetizing.
- Johnny Cake. Small, deep-fried dumplings, Johnny Cakes make great starters or sides. These Caribbean delicacies are great on their own, with butter, jam or with sautéed fish.
- Jerk Chicken. Native to Jamaica, this spicy dish, made with scotch bonnet peppers and allspice, is probably the most famous of the Caribbean foods. With smoking, delicious-smelling jerk stands scattered across the island, if you're craving some juicy meat with a kick, you won't be disappointed.
- Cayman-style lobster. Lobster in the Caribbean is a delicacy and quite frankly, the best of its kind. You'll find succulent, irresistible lobster dishes in risottos, pastas and even patties all over the island, but one thing you simply must try is Cayman-style lobster tails from 'Deckers' on Seven Mile Beach.
- Cayman-Style Beef. The most tender meat you'll taste in your life. Cayman-style beef, or stewed beef, is slow-cooked shreds of meat, tossed with hot spices and left to soak up the juices.
