Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lb beef roast
- 1/4 cup ground coffee
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Remove beef roast from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub seasoning blend.
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the seasoning adhere better.
- Generously coat the entire roast with the coffee-spice mixture, massaging the seasoning into the meat's surface to ensure complete coverage.
- Preheat slow cooker or large Dutch oven to low heat setting (approximately 275°F).
- Place seasoned roast into slow cooker or Dutch oven, and pour beef broth around the meat to help maintain moisture during cooking.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours, or until meat is extremely tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Check internal temperature of roast, which should reach approximately 195-205°F for optimal tenderness.
- Once done, remove roast from cooking vessel and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding.
- Optional: Use remaining cooking liquid to create a rich gravy or au jus for serving.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Let your roast sit at room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and maximum tenderness.
- Pat Dry for Perfect Seasoning: Always pat the meat dry before applying the coffee rub to help the spices adhere better and create a delicious crust.
- Low and Slow is the Way to Go: Cooking at a low temperature for several hours breaks down tough muscle fibers, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth meat.
- Invest in a Meat Thermometer: Checking the internal temperature (195-205°F) guarantees perfect doneness every time.
- Resting Matters: Allow the roast to rest 10-15 minutes after cooking to let juices redistribute, ensuring each bite is incredibly juicy.
- Bonus Tip: Use the leftover cooking liquid to create a rich gravy or au jus that will take your roast to the next level of deliciousness!
