Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. (Or you can also use stove top or crock-pot.)

Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a wide frying pan over a high heat. Brown the meat on all sides; heavily salt and pepper both sides.

Remove the meat and set aside.

In a separate small bowl, add to 1 1/2 cups of hot water the tomato paste, instant coffee, and chili flakes. Mix well.

In the same frying pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the garlic, adding the tomato paste mixture. Mix together (will be thick).

Chop the onions, and place in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Place the cooked piece of meat on top. Spread the paste on top of the meat. Add fresh herbs for additional flavor.

Place the chopped carrots on top of the meat and sauce. Pour the Guinness beer on top.

Cover with the lid of the casserole/Dutch oven and simmer very gently on stove (very low heat) until the meat is tender (toward the end of 3 hours, make sure there is enough liquid). OR bake at 300 degrees for about 3 hours +15 minutes (or until tender). OR cook in the crock pot on HI for 3-4 hours until tender.

Allow to sit for 20 minutes before serving.
