Coffee as a braising liquidPosted by txtigersw

5Have been reading about this and tried it last night with great results. Had a chuck roast I wanted to use for tacos. Seasoned with chipotle mix, hard seared in heavy pan. Deglazed pan with coffee, added onions, garlic and about 1/2 cup of salsa. 3 hrs in low oven, then shredded for tacos. Texture and flavor were on point.
It's fine as an accent, as you used it to deglaze the pan. But the onions and salsa added a fair bit of moisture as well. I'd hesitate to use, like 3 cups of coffee, for the sole liquid in very wet braise as it can become quite bitter as it concentrates (depending on the coffee)

on 8/20/19 at 1:47 pm to txtigerswI've only used coffee/grounds as part of a marinade, but I bet that is good if it's not bitter like the reply above. I'm sure a light roast coffee would be really good in a fruit reduction on top of duck, steak, etc because it wouldn't be as bitter as a darker coffee.

on 8/20/19 at 4:01 pm to txtigerswI've had red eye gravy most saturdays my entire life, but I've never braised a dish with coffee. I'd assume it's a similar taste, after all it's deglazing with coffee and cooking down and combining with fat.
