Ingredients

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

Directions

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.
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.
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.

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.
