How to Make Beef Stew With Coffee Gravy

  1. Dredge 2 lbs beef stew meat in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until evenly coated.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed beef broth, 1 packet onion soup mix, 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, 1/2 cup red wine, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon beef base, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 medium onion, chopped.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture into the Dutch oven with the browned beef.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
  6. Add 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped, 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed, and 2 medium turnips, peeled and cubed. Continue to simmer, covered, until the beef is fork-tender (approximately 1-1.5 hours).
  7. Remove the lid and bring the stew to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the beef and vegetables from the stew and set aside.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of reserved flour and 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry.
  11. Gradually whisk the slurry into the remaining liquid in the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
  12. Pour the thickened coffee gravy over the beef and vegetables. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
