An Umami Experience: Our Sauce in Action
Our coffee-infused sauce is a revelation, a rich, brown elixir that's anything but one-dimensional. While it’s divine over savoury meals, its versatility stretches far beyond that.
Recipe Idea 1: Perfectly Seared Steak with Coffee Sauce
Transform your weeknight steak into a gourmet experience!
Ingredients: Your favourite cut of steak, salt, pepper, a generous tablespoon of butter, and 2-3 tablespoons of [Your Brand Name] Coffee Sauce.
Method: Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add a tablespoon of butter. Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side (or to desired doneness) for a beautiful crust. Remove steak from pan, rest it. In the same pan, reduce heat to low, add 2-3 tablespoons of Coffee Sauce, stirring to incorporate any pan drippings. Simmer for 1 minute until warmed through and slightly thickened. Drizzle sauce over the rested steak and serve immediately. The coffee sauce creates a wonderfully deep, slightly sweet and tangy glaze that complements the richness of the beef.
Pro-Tip: Pair this with a glass of rich red wine, or, surprisingly, a shot of our Bespoke Coffee as a digestif to cleanse the palate.
Savory Sophistication: Elevating Meals with Coffee Biltong
Who knew coffee belonged in biltong? We did! Our Artisan Coffee Biltong is a tender, flavourful marvel that redefines snacking. It’s perfect on its own but truly shines when paired creatively.
Recipe Idea 2: Coffee Biltong and Avo Salad
A quick, protein-packed lunch with a delicious twist!
Ingredients: Mixed greens, half an avocado (sliced), a handful of chopped Dinner for Breakfast Coffee Biltong, cherry tomatoes, a light vinaigrette.
Method: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Toss gently with vinaigrette. The robust flavour of the coffee biltong provides a fantastic counterpoint to the creamy avocado and crisp greens.
Pro-Tip: For an extra kick, lightly toast a few of your Bespoke Coffee Beans and sprinkle them over the salad for added crunch and aroma.
Your New Refreshment Ritual: Crafting Coffee Tonic Delights
Crisp, refreshing, and surprisingly zesty – our Coffee Tonic is a game-changer. It's the perfect antidote to a hot day and a versatile base for imaginative drinks.
Recipe Idea 3: Vibrant Citrus Coffee Tonic Mocktail
A non-alcoholic delight that’s full of zing!
Ingredients: 1/2 cup Dinner for Breakfast Coffee Tonic, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange or grapefruit juice, a splash of sparkling water, ice, a slice of citrus, and a sprig of fresh rosemary or mint for garnish.
Method: Fill a glass with ice. Add Coffee Tonic and citrus juice. Top with sparkling water. Garnish and enjoy. The tonic’s coffee notes blend beautifully with the fruit and herbs for a complex, thirst-quenching drink.
