This might look like an odd mix of ingredients but circumstances prevented me from doing my shopping on time this month and I had to use what I had in the house. To be very honest I wasn’t to sure how this was going to end up tasting but it was excellent and Even my hubby enjoyed it )and he’s not a fan of “innovative cuisine”, lol). It’s very satisfying meal thats reasonably low in hat and packs a lot of flavor.

MAKES: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 -2 lb boneless rump roast of beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup no-salt-added beef broth
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup dry red wine (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 big red potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup dark raisins, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Trim fat from beef and cut into 1 inch cubes.
  2. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large saucepan over medium high heat.
  4. Add beef and cook 5 minutes or until browned.
  5. Add coffee and next 4 ingredients (coffee through garlic) and bring to a boil.
  6. Cover and reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes.
  7. Add mushrooms, dates, and capers; bring to a boil.
  8. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.

  9. Serve over the rice.

TIP:

  • Don’t allow the liquid level to drop by much. If it’s getting low top if back up with water. If it’s thinner than you would like just mix a couple of teaspoons of cornstarch with a 1/4 cup of cold water and stir it into the bubbling pot. Stir until thickened.
