I ran across a recipe for beef pot roast not too long ago and thought it sounded interesting. I really love the flavor that the coffee and rosemary gives this beef--it is really rather subtle. I just use the cheap chuck roast cut and it always turns out tender and delicious but you could probably use other cuts also. This is my version of the recipe I found on food dot com (#37258).
I like cooking a big hunk of meat so I can have leftovers and not spend so much time cooking a night or two later. Of course, you can also freeze extras to reheat again in a week or two. I'm sure this would probably come out great if using a crock pot also. If you try it, let me know what you think! I think I'm addicted.
Ingredients:
1 (2 1/2-3 lb) beef chuck roast
1 T of fat to brown in (I use coconut oil for it's high heat tolerance)
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup brewed coffee
1 cup chicken or beef broth
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (I just throw in a fresh sprig of rosemary and remove the stem later)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Brown roast on all sides in a Dutch oven.
Add onion and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add coffee, broth, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.
Cover and simmer on low for 2-1/2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
Slice and serve with juices (or make a gravy if desired).
