Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 (3 pound) beef sirloin tip roast
-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 cups brewed coffee
-
2 cups water, divided
-
2 cubes beef bouillon
-
6 basil leaves
-
1 tablespoon salt, plus more to taste
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
Directions
-
Heat oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Sear roast in hot oil until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a plate.
-
Add onion and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Return roast to the pot; pour coffee and 1 1/2 cup water over top. Add bouillon, basil, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2 to 3 hours.
-
Transfer roast to a serving dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil. Discard basil leaves. Keep broth in the pot over medium heat.
-
Whisk flour and remaining 1/2 cup water together in a bowl until smooth; slowly whisk into broth until gravy is smooth and somewhat clear. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
-
Pour about 1/2 of the gravy over roast, and pour the rest into a gravy boat for serving.
Cook’s Note
If you don't mind straining carrots from the broth, they go well with this and add a nice flavor. Just add them in before you cover the meat. I usually add 1 to 1 1/2 small bags of baby carrots.
