Made the Espresso-Braised Beef. I liked the idea of using the espresso in it. I wasn't too sure, as it was cooking, that it would be good, but was it ever! My husband really liked the flavor and I did too. We served it with mashed white potatoes, but I could see how the mashed sweets would be great as well. Will definitely make this again. Going to try the German one next.

11/1/2011 11:51:32 AM Report AbuseEarned an A+++ from us.Thou weird to put tapioca.I guess that is used to thicken up the delicious sauce! followed the recipe pretty much, except I cut up a yellow onion and carmelized it. I just chose a red wine that I had..Used Raw baby carrots and Raw string beans..used a can of BF consome fr Campbells,a little hot water. next time I will quarter potatoes and add them in...I will hang onto that bag of tapioca! awesome!!

I utilized the left overs by chopping up the beef and adding the sauce and veggies in a cassrole dish, cooked and then topped with a mashed potatoes, it made a great shepards pie!
