Beef Braised in Coffee is not a combination that many people will think of. However it really works well. I use espresso coffee as it has good strength and lovely flavour. To allay the fears of some, the beef does not end up tasting like your chewing coffee. It is a subtle flavour that boosts the flavour and texture of the beef. Served as a main dish on a bed of rice for a wholesome meal.
