Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
• 2 cups Brewed coffee (strong)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
• 4 medium Carrots (cut into chunks)
• 4 medium Potatoes (cut into chunks)
• 2 Bay leaves
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the brewed coffee, beef broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the beef chuck roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a deep dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 4

Remove the beef roast from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 6

In the same pot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 7

Return the beef to the pot and add the reserved marinade, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 2.5 hours.

Step 8

After 2.5 hours, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir them gently to coat with the liquid. Re-cover the pot and return it to the oven for an additional 1.5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.

Step 10

Serve the pot roast hot, shredded or sliced, with the vegetables and sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish!
