Ingredients:
Directions:
Brew the coffee.
Peel the clove of garlic and mince; peel the onion and chop into small pieces; chop the parsley, and set these aside.
Cut the meat into strips, preferably against the grain.
In a two-quart Dutch oven or large heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and onion and sauté until soft but not browned. Remove onion and garlic from the pot and set them aside in a small bowl.
In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour with the salt and pepper, then dredge the beef strips into this mixture. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the pot and brown the beef strips, turning once. Add the cooked onion and garlic, plus the Worcestershire sauce, the broth, and the brewed coffee. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until beef is fork-tender. Stir in the parsley, then lower the heat to stop the mixture from boiling. At about the mid-way point, put the sour cream on the counter and let it come to room temperature.
In a small bowl, blend the room-temperature sour cream and ¼ cup flour. Stir the sour cream and flour mixture very slowly into the hot sauce, stir well, and heat through but take care not to boil the mixture or the sour cream could curdle. The resulting liquid should become thick and creamy. To serve, place the cooked noodles on a platter, and carefully pour the "kaffenoff" over them. Serve immediately.
YIELD: 12 servings
