Roast Beef with Espresso Sriracha Sauce Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Roast beef is one of those meals that I turn to time and again. Like my favorite Dr. Pepper version or even that balsamic roast beef that my family loves so much!
And one thing is pretty much certain, I’m not afraid to play around with the flavor combination that I use when I make roast beef either. Like this version I’ve made a few times recently.
And, since I’ve been using loving espresso powder so much in my baking, I decided to toss a little in my roast to see how I liked it with my beef. The flavors worked really, really well together!
But, you know I couldn’t stand to leave well enough alone and decided it needed a spicy little kick, too. That’s where the sriracha comes into play.
You can adjust the amounts of each to your personal preference, but after trying it a few different ways, I found the amounts that seem to suit everyone who tasted it in my family! Not too much and not too little, but juuuust right.
I can’t wait to hear how you like it!
Here’s my Roast Beef with Espresso Sriracha Sauce recipe. It’s good stuff, y’all!
