Coffee Pot Roast

Found this in an Amish cookbook and ever since, it has been one of my favorites. The coffee adds a deep flavor to the meat, you really have to try it. Slice the roast thinly and serve with the pan juices on the side. Leftovers make terrific sandwiches.

Coffee Pot Roast
3-4 lb beef roast
2 T vegetable oil
1/4 c soy sauce
1 c brewed coffee
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teas oregano
2 large onions, sliced


Brown the meat on all sides in the oil. Meanwhile, in a roasting pan, combine the soy sauce, coffee, bay leaves, garlic and oregano. Add one of the sliced onions on the bottom of the pan, lay the meat on top and cover with the second sliced onion.

Cover roaster and bake at 300 for about 4 hours (until meat pulls apart easily). Baste often with the pan juices and add more soy sauce and coffee if the liquid begins to boil away.

Will be trying this recipe for sure. I wanted a "nice" beef recipe for our friends when they come for a visit the end of the month.
