Roast Beef with Coffee

Recipe View 15 mins Prepare the Roast: Using a sharp knife, create five deep slits around the top and sides of the chuck roast. Insert one minced garlic clove into each slit to infuse the meat with savory flavor. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

Recipe View 7 hrs Slow Cook to Perfection: Place the prepared roast in a slow cooker, then pour the strong, prepared coffee over the top, ensuring the roast is generously coated. Cover and cook on Low setting until the roast is deeply browned and exceptionally tender. This process should take approximately 6 to 8 hours. For optimal results, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the roast.

Set the saucepan over medium-low heat. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the drippings, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Recipe View Serve and Enjoy: Slice the roast and serve immediately, generously drizzling with the rich, coffee-infused gravy. Pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dishes.
