Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds Beef
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
6 cloves Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon Allspice
32 ounces Beef Stock
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 tablespoon Thyme
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
2 l Bay Leaves
1/2 - 1 cups Cabernet Sauvignon or similar rich red wine
1/2 - 3/4 cups Jack Daniels or similar Kentucky Bourbon
1/2 cups Black Coffee (liquid)
1 tablespoon Dark chocolate pieces or chocolate syrup
2 cups Onion chopped (separated)
5-6 Potatoes (Russet or Yukon)
1/3 pound Green Beans (cut to thirds)
3 Carrot - peeled and sliced
2 sprigs Parsley - Fresh (garnish only)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Dredge cubed beef in flour and sauté until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  • 2. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute.
  • Add beef stock, ½ of the onions, carrots, tomato paste, allspice, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
  • 3. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, then cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • 4. Add coffee, chocolate, whiskey and wine, potatoes, and balance of onions. Simmer about 40 minutes uncovered until gravy thickens to the point it clings to a spoon. Adjust seasonings to taste. Should be a complex slightly sweet beef gravy.
  • 5. Add beans cut to about thirds. Simmer uncovered until vegetables and beef are very tender, about 40 minutes.
