Instructions:
-
Brown the Roast:
- Start by heating a Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the roast on all sides until it develops a rich, golden crust.
-
-
Saute Onions:
- Add the onion to the Dutch oven and cook until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
-
Prepare the Braising Liquid:
- Pour in the brewed coffee, 3/4 cup of water, and crumble in the beef bouillon cube for added depth of flavor.
- Season with dried basil, dried rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Simmer the Roast:
- Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the roast to simmer gently for approximately 2 and a half hours, or until the meat becomes tender and easily pulls apart.
-
Make the Gravy:
- In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the remaining water to create a slurry. Gradually add some of the liquid from the pan to the slurry while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Pour this flour mixture back into the Dutch oven with the roast. Cook and stir the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency.
-
Serve:
- Once the roast beef is tender and the gravy has thickened, remove the Dutch oven from the heat.
- Slice the roast beef against the grain into thick, juicy portions.
- Serve hot with a generous spoonful of the savory coffee-infused gravy.
This coffee roast beef recipe offers a unique twist on a classic dish, infusing it with rich flavors and tenderizing the meat to perfection. Enjoy this hearty meal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special occasion with loved ones.
