Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 375 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Pounds (lb) chuck roast
• 5 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 Cups prepared strong coffee
• 0.5 Cups water
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) cornstarch
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh thyme, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh rosemary, minced

Steps

1. Prepare the Roast: Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, make five deep slits around the top and sides of the roast. Insert a minced garlic clove into each slit.
2. Season the Roast: Rub the roast with olive oil, then season all over with kosher salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
3. Sear the Roast: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step locks in the juices and adds depth of flavor.
4. Slow Cook: Place the seared roast in a slow cooker. Pour the prepared strong coffee over the top. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
5. Prepare the Gravy: Once the roast is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter and let it rest. Pour the drippings from the slow cooker into a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
6. Thicken the Gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the saucepan with the drippings, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Serve: Slice the roast against the grain and serve with the rich coffee-infused gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
