How to Make Beef Stew With Coffee Gravy
- Dredge 2 lbs beef stew meat in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until evenly coated.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the Dutch oven with the browned beef.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
- 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).
- Remove the lid and bring the stew to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the beef and vegetables from the stew and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of reserved flour and 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry.
- Gradually whisk the slurry into the remaining liquid in the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
- Pour the thickened coffee gravy over the beef and vegetables. Serve hot and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
