  • Dutch Oven
  • 4 Lbs. Top round Beef roast (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter

  • 1 Large Onion (Chopped)
  • 1 Tbsp. Paprika
  • 6-8 Fresh Sage Leaves (Whole)
  • 1 ½ Cups Strong Brewed Coffee

  1. Preheat oven to 250° F. Season the beef cubes on all sides with salt and pepper.

  2. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the 1 tsp. butter. Add the hamburger and season with salt and pepper and cook until browned about 5-10 minutes, remove to a plate.

  3. Working in batches, sear the cubes of meat and jalapeño halves on all sides until brown. about 10-12 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside. Leave all of the fat in the Dutch oven.
