This one is a request, so I was winging it completely!
I seasoned some short ribs with salt, pepper, and the only coffee I had on hand…caramel macchiato. I used about 1 tsp for 4 small pieces.
Meanwhile, I prepared a head of cauliflower.
I cut it into steaks, then added some grainy mustard to one side and a spicy mustard to the other side. Then added to a 400 degree oven.
I also put a baking potato in the microwave with a little water and covered for 6 minutes.
I chopped an onion and started it on medium high heat with a little EVOO.
The meat continues to marinate while I cook the sides first.
The onions caramelized nicely. You can add a little beef stock if needed to prevent sticking.
The potato was almost fully cooked, I chopped it, added some salt and pepper and let it cook with the cauliflower.
On high heat, start with 2 tbsp of vegetable oil, then sauté the short ribs. I did about 3 minutes on each side. Then deglaze with beef stock and cover for about 2 minutes. Put into a plate and let it rest for a few minutes.
It was good, I’m not a coffee lover, but this was tasty and I will make it again. Using flavored coffee was a yummy addition. I did eat the onions too, just forgot the pic. Hunger was motivating me 🙂
Give it a try!
YUM!
