Brazilian Beef Stew

Brazilian Beef Stew is simple to prepare, a hardy recipe with layers of great flavor. Perfect for the whole family that will warm up and satisfy even the picky eaters.

Brazilian Beef Stew

I stumbled across this short and simple recipe in Silver Spoon cookbook and the idea of coffee and wine had me interested.  I had never put those two ingredients in the same dish.  Made me wonder who thought it up?
Since I am still dealing with the pepper surplus from my garden I thought I would give it a try.  I deviated from the cookbook recipe by adding the beans at the end.  I just thought it needed a little bit more substance to make the family happy and the beans were a wonderful addition (plus I added extra protein-bonus).  The boys all gave it a thumbs up, so it will be on my winter dinner rotation, plus it was so darn easy to pull together it will be a favorite of mine.

    This stew looks delicious! Adding wine always enhances the sauce or the soup.

      Julia, Yes I always seem to throw in a splash of wine in soups and stews, but never coffee and white wine together. An odd combo but really delicious!

    Such an interesting combination of flavours. I’ve been looking for a new twist on the beef and beans casserole combo, so this will be on the menu next week.
    Thank you

    Is it possible to substitute broth for the coffee?

      Yes, but I would use a Beef Broth, Chicken or Vegetable would be too light.
