Thank you to my dearest friend Regina for this amazing recipe. This beef stew has the most bold and fragrant aroma and taste. A very easy recipe to put together too. Great for a Sunday night dinner and holidays. Meat eaters are going to adore this dish. Enjoy!
A message from Regina….I have seen many times on cooking shows the use of coffee when cooking beef, so I thought I would try it in my stew. This along with some other strong ingredients produces a sumptuous meal that is still pleasing to the palate.
