Coffee Roast Beef
Coffee Roast Beef
This method of preparing a beef roast was often used by cowboys & ranch h&s while out on the range
1 (3 1/2 to 4 lb) boneless rump roast
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, cut into quarters
4 cloves garlic, cut in half
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups medium strength black coffee
2 cups water
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup red wine
Preheat oven to 450 deg F
Using a sharp knife, make very small cuts in the roast & insert the garlic halves
Heat the oil in a heavy roasting pan or Dutch oven (cast iron works best) & sear the roast on all sides
Add the onion quarters, tomato paste, coffee & water to the pan & bake for 30 min
Reduce the heat to 375 deg F & bake for 1 1/2 hrs more or until the roast is done to taste
Remove the roast to a warm platter, let cool slightly & then slice
Stir the butter & wine into the pan juices & serve with the sliced roast
Serves 8 to 10
