~CROCK POT COFFEE ROAST~
Slow cooked in the crock pot.
I just had to try this recipe for Peking Roast.
I just had to try this recipe for Peking Roast.
It turned out mighty tasty.
Do you remember Heloise that wrote for newspapers? I found an old book of her's where she shared that when overseas she had such delicious roast and discovered that coffee was used to help flavor the pot roast. I wanted to try this for myself and thought the results were great. Wasn't disappointed.
~Crock Pot Coffee Roast~
Start with a 3 to 5 pound roast.
Cut slits completely through the meat so they look like little tunnels.
Insert slivers of garlic and onion into the slits.
Can do without garlic and onion.
Put the beef in a bowl and pour one cup of vinegar over it.
Make sure that the vinegar runs down into the slits.
Cover and place in refrigerator for twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
(I did 36 hours)
When ready to cook the roast, discard the vinegar solution and place meat in a heavy pot
(iron if possible) and brown in oil until nearly burned on both sides.
(I skipped the browning step. Will try to do this next time.)
Pour two cups of strong black coffee over the roast.
Add two cups of water and cover.
(I had left-over coffee in the coffee pot, so I poured approximately 2 more cups of coffee.
A total of 4 cups of coffee.)
If liquid boils down NEVER add more than one cup of additional water at a time.
Make sure the lid is on tight.
Cook slowly at a simmer for six hours on top of stove. (I used my CROCK-POT on low.)
Do NOT season with anything else until twenty minutes before serving and then add salt and pepper.
That's it.
For a nice Pot Roast Meal, I added sliced White Onion, sliced Red Potatoes and Baby Carrots. Cooked right along with the Roast for about 4 hours.
Looking forward to my QUIET TIME TODAY.
May you have a blessed and pleasant day.
Thank you for stopping by and saying hi.
GOD BLESS,

The carrots and potatoes look yummy, but I cannot wrap my head around coffee and roast beef. Maybe it's because I don't drink coffee!♥♫
That roast was amazingly moist and tender, and superb flavor. I was concerned about the vinegar. There was absolutely no taste of coffee or vinegar.
I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy, and when I say meat and potatoes I'm pretty picky when it comes to sauces. A little salt and pepper and I'm good to go.
This brought out the flavor of both. Nothing else needed.
Anytime dear!

I'm loving this recipe. It looks delicious and heartwarming. Pinning to Consuming Passions at Pinterest.
I was pleasantly surprised that it was as good as it was. Liked it alot! An old technique to tenderize meats is to use vineger.
