It is no secret that I have a freezer full of beef thanks to the steady supply of beef from my brother's farm. You may notice I have been posting a lot of recipes with beef roasts. Well, it is winter so I can't grill, so we have to eat up our beef roast. I also might be addicted to coffee. Really strong coffee preferably. So, I mixed the two to create this crock pot coffee beef roast.
Crock Pot Coffee Beef Roast combines coffee, mushroom, onions, garlic to create a rich and flavorful sauce for a beef roast to slow cook in all day creating a tender and juicy crock pot roast. The beef will literally melt in your mouth.
How to Make Crock Pot Coffee Beef Roast
Start by browning a thawed roast in a pan with two tablespoons of oil. (Yes, you other freezer beef gals, get the roast out the night before.) I sprinkled both sides with salt, pepper and some sprinkles of Worcestershire sauce.
Put it in the crock pot on low. Toss mushroom, green onions, and two garlic cloves in the skillet. I used some Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic since I actually had all my garlic go bad:(
When the mushrooms are browned, pour 1 ยฝ cups of coffee in the pan. I also added 3 shakes of Tobasco and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Pour this whole mixture over your roast in the crock pot.
Cook on low for 8-9 hours.
Come home to goodness. So, in the meantime, if you are a working mom like me, if your husband is home before you, have him cut up some potatoes (peels on) and start them boiling. Also, tell him to fry up some bacon to crumble for the potatoes. Yes, he made the PW's restaurant-style potatoes. See, they can be trained!!
I mixed together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and ยฝ cup water in a saucepan. Then pour all the dripping from the crock pot, with mushrooms too. Reserve the roast on a cutting board or serving plate.
Once the gravy is warm, cut up your roast.
And dinner is served!

Ok, I had to laugh out loud at the comment about getting my roast out the night before to unthaw~! How forward-thinking of you! ๐ Looks yummy! I need to work on a post for next week! Game ON!
Katie @ On the Banks of Squaw Creek
That looks so great! But I literally froze and quit reading when I saw the picture of the gravy. I reread it about 3 times, and I still can't believe it could really be that easy. I've never made gravy successfully before.
Farmchick
Wow! This looks great. I already made you Italian crock post roast, so I can see this is next.
BigD
Looks good--except for the coffee part. Love the mushrooms!
How does one get a husband who gets home first, let alone cuts up potatoes and fries bacon?
If there's a class or something, i might need to sign one up!
