This is a different way to use cocoa~
and a left over cup of coffee.
Chocolate Beef Tenderloin
1/2 cup strong coffee
2Tbs olive oil
2# beef
2 Tbs flour
2 cups beef stock
2 Tbs tomato paste
2 Tbs cocoa powder
1tsp basil &oregano
pinch allspice
fresh thyme
1cup carrots
1cup pearl onions
1cup greenbeans
Slice beef into cubes, marinade in ziplock bag with coffee (I added a splash of WhistleStop Marinade) Heat olive oil in a large shallow pan. Brown beef quickly and remove. Add flour to pan and stir until brown. Slowly add broth and the coffee marinade stirring until blended. Stir in tomato paste and spices. Return meat to the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add carrots and cook until tender. Uncover, add onions and green beans. Simmer. The sauce will thicken as the veggies become tender.
I serve it over garlic mashed potatoes.
Now that is a different way to eat chocolate!Y'all enjoy!
