Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• salt to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 6 cups brewed coffee
• 4 pounds beef chuck roast
• freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 2 large yellow onions, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the butter and oil over medium/high heat. Place the roast in the pot and sear it on all sides until well browned. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, saute the onions for 5 minutes, scraping loose the brown roast bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the garlic and pepper and saute for 1 minute. Return the meat to the pot and pour in the coffee and add the mushrooms.

Step 3

Over high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 hours, turning the meat over halfway through the cooking time. A slow cooker may be used for cooking the roast, if desired.

Step 4

To make the gravy: When the roast is done, remove it from the pot. Take 1/2 cup of the coffee sauce mixture from the pot and stir in the cornstarch to make a slurry. Mix well. Return the slurry to the pot, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the sour cream then salt to taste.
