MY MOM'S COFFEE-BRAISED BRISKET
This is my take on the dish my mother served at virtually every special-occasion dinner of my childhood. And my mom's version was her take on the dish that her mother made. Brisket has a long history on the Jewish table, primarily because it was a very economical cut. Unfortunately, brisket is no longer cheap, but when cooked properly, it's still one of the beefiest and most flavorful pieces of meat you can find. Whether it's first or second cut (the flat or the point) matters less than making sure the meat has a nice layer of fat on one side. My grandmother made her brisket with carrots, potatoes, and Heinz Chili Sauce, which gave it a traditional sweet-and-sour flavor. My mother added the coffee--she doesn't remember why, but it's pretty brilliant, actually. Unlike stock, coffee is a braising liquid ready in minutes, and its deep, roasted flavors work really well with beef (that's why coffee makes a great addition to barbecue sauce). In my version, I add cardamom to evoke Turkish coffee, and I replace the sweetness of that chili sauce with the deeper flavor of dried apricots. You'll find braised eggs like the ones in this dish in cholent, or hamin, the Sabbath stew that is cooked slowly overnight and served on Saturday afternoon. They take on an almost creamy texture from the long cooking time, and as the coffee braising liquid penetrates the shells, it colors the eggs and subtly flavors them. I finish the whole dish with grated horseradish for a little bit of pungency to wake up the long-cooked flavors of the brisket. I make brisket over several days: The first day, the seasoned meat is refrigerated overnight and the next day, it's cooked. The brisket can be served then, but its flavor and texture are far better if it is allowed to rest in its braising liquid for another night, then warmed, sliced, and served the following day.

Steps:
- Mix the ground coffee, salt, cardamom and black cardamom in a small bowl and rub into the brisket. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Put the brisket in a roasting pan and roast until the exterior has browned, about 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions, carrots and the garlic, cut-side down. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and browned, about 15 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. Add the tomato paste and cook until it reduces slightly, about 2 more minutes.
- Transfer the vegetables to the roasting pan with the brisket. Add the dried apricots, brewed coffee and eggs in their shells. Add enough water to bring the liquid halfway up the side of the brisket.
- Cover the pan tightly with two layers of foil, return to the oven and braise for 1 hour. Remove the eggs, gently tap them all over to make a network of small cracks and return them to the braise. Recover the pan with foil and continue cooking until the brisket shreds easily with a fork, about 3 more hours. Let the brisket cool in its braising liquid, then refrigerate overnight.
- To serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel the cold eggs and slice the cold brisket, then return them both to the braising liquid and bake until warmed through, about 30 minutes. Serve the brisket slices with the peeled eggs, grated fresh horseradish and parsley leaves and spoon the broth over top.

COFFEE-BRAISED BEEF W/MUSHROOM SAUCE
This is an outstanding recipe that the mushroom sauce & some hot rolls alone would have made me happy. This was my first time to braise any meat with coffee & it really lent to the taste of the meat & sauce. My husband Anthony who hates coffee & shrooms just LOVED this! (He didn't eat any shrooms I want to mention that this is...

Steps:
- 1. 1 Ninja Cooking System, crockpot or covered dish.
- 2. Rinse off roast w/water and pat dry. Season with salt & pepper on all sides. Place butter & oil into pot. Set on STOVETOP HIGH & add beef once butter is melted. Brown beef on all sides which will take about 15 minutes and then place meat on a plate.
- 3. Add your delicious shrooms and diced up onions to pot with the remaining drippings from searing meat. Cook them uncovered until shrooms are tender about 15 minutes or so. Make sure to stir occasionally. Stir in your garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Add the hot coffee and vinegar to the pot.
- 4. Place beef on roasting rack and into pot. Cover and set OVEN TO 375 degrees F cook for 55 minutes. This will be for medium to medium well doneness. When finished cooking remove beef from pot and keep warm. (I placed mine in a covered dish.)
- 5. Stir in flour & 1/4 cup cold water, whisk till smooth or stir with fork. Set to STOVETOP HIGH & cook uncovered 10 minutes till mixture thickens. Stir often, as mine was immediately thick and I had to add about 3/4 cup of water to get the right consistency for my sauce. I poured the sauce over beef, covered and placed in a warm oven till ready to eat. I served this with mashed red potatoes, honey orange glazed carrots and rolls.

- Place the dried mushrooms into a large bowl, and pour enough boiling water over them to completely cover them (roughly 3 cups); cover the bowl, and allow the mushrooms to soak and rehydrate for 20 minutes; once rehydrated, strain the mushrooms through a fine sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer, and reserve 1 cup of the soaking liquid, or “mushroom stock”; roughly chop the mushrooms, then set aside for a moment.
- Place the beef shanks onto a large plate or platter, and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt, some freshly-cracked black pepper, and the flour; place a large heavy bottom braising pot or pan over medium-high/high heat, and add about 2-3 tablespoons of the olive oil to the pot; once the oil is hot, add the beef shanks into the pot, and allow them to brown and caramelize for about 4-5 minutes on each side; once browned, remove the shanks from the pot, and set aside on a plate for a moment.
- Next, reduce the heat to low, and add into the pot the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter; once hot and melted, add in the sliced onion along with the Italian seasoning, and allow it to caramelize for a couple of moments, scraping up any tasty brown bits on the bottom of the pot; next, add in the garlic and stir, and once the garlic becomes aromatic, stir in the mushrooms.
