Slow Cooker Roast Beef Recipe with Coffee Mushroom Cream Sauce
Yes, coffee mushroom cream sauce does exist and it is awesome. Don’t be scared to try it. It has a unique taste that goes wonderfully with a slow cooked beef rump roast.
When my husband asked what was for dinner, I just told him slow cooked beef roast with a mushroom cream sauce. I did purposefully leave out the “coffee” part of the cream sauce. The main rule of thumb is not to scare him before he had a chance to eat it. I do that a lot with him and the kids when I am trying a new recipe. It is very easy to be prejudice on a meal because of the title. Don’t judge a book by its cover and don’t judge a recipe by one simple ingredient. 🙂
It is a family favorite by the way. The dinner was a complete success even with me because I am my biggest critic. This recipe uses my homemade coffee bean extract. You can easily make it at any time and save it for this great recipe and many others.
