  1. Delicious! The aroma while this was cooking made our mouths water. We enjoyed a lovely roast dinner with a very tasty gravy to boot! So easy to make, the herbs and the coffee added gave the gravy a unique flavour. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Love the way this turned out! My family couldn't guess there was black coffee in it! I sliced the roast and poured the gravy over it. At 55 I'm still learning!
     
  3. I made this per the instructions, with only one exception: I used ONLY the roast juices to mix with flour in a separate bowl, then re-added it to the roast. One word: Delicious! I make this dish at least every 2 weeks - if not every week. My husband LOVES it! We had my Mother-in-Law over for the weekend and she raved about it, too. Thanks! Laurie Pearson
     
  4. This smelled divine while cooking and tasted just like it smelled. Of course, I did "lump" the gravy instead of thickening it <blush>. A lesson to me to pay more attention.
     
  5. Tender & juicy meat, delicious gravy,and last but not least the wonderful aroma! Good job Charlotte!

Tweaks

  1. Very tasty. I browned the roast on the stove and then transferred it to the slow cooker (low temp) for the rest of the day. The meat was so tender it just fell apart as we tried to dish it up! I didn't even get to sit down with my plate before my youngest son came back up for seconds. I used beef broth instead of the water/bouillon and cornstarch for thickener.
     
  2. I used a full can of beef broth in place of the water and bouillon cube. I also used 16 ounces of water with about a tsp of gravy master and some steak seasoning in the simmering liquid. Made a great gravy.
