Beef Stew With Coffee Gravy

---

Comfort food. I know the ingredient list is a little odd, but it makes a really tasty gravy with a lot of depth and character, almost somewhere in between a standard beef stew and pot roast. My family hasn't really cared for most of the stew recipes i've tried (or pot roasts for that matter), but they really like this.
