Make pot roast with gravy like you had when you were young with my grandmother's recipe. Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables on the side.

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

  1. 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.

  2. Add onion and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
