2 1/2 - 3 lb boneless beef rump roast
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
8 oz baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
4 clove garlic, minced
2 c strong-brewed black coffee
1/4 c red wine vinegar
1/4 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c cold water
3/4 - 1 c water to sauce to desired consistency

Steps:

1. 1 Ninja Cooking System, crockpot or covered dish.
2. Rinse off roast w/water and pat dry. Season with salt & pepper on all sides. Place butter & oil into pot. Set on STOVETOP HIGH & add beef once butter is melted. Brown beef on all sides which will take about 15 minutes and then place meat on a plate.
3. Add your delicious shrooms and diced up onions to pot with the remaining drippings from searing meat. Cook them uncovered until shrooms are tender about 15 minutes or so. Make sure to stir occasionally. Stir in your garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Add the hot coffee and vinegar to the pot.
4. Place beef on roasting rack and into pot. Cover and set OVEN TO 375 degrees F cook for 55 minutes. This will be for medium to medium well doneness. When finished cooking remove beef from pot and keep warm. (I placed mine in a covered dish.)
5. Stir in flour & 1/4 cup cold water, whisk till smooth or stir with fork. Set to STOVETOP HIGH & cook uncovered 10 minutes till mixture thickens. Stir often, as mine was immediately thick and I had to add about 3/4 cup of water to get the right consistency for my sauce. I poured the sauce over beef, covered and placed in a warm oven till ready to eat. I served this with mashed red potatoes, honey orange glazed carrots and rolls.
