COFFEE-BRAISED ROAST BEEF

Coffee-Braised Roast Beef image

This recipe has been a family tradition since 1974. The meat is quick and flavorful, so it's a nice welcome home after a long day of work. The coffee adds an intriguing flavor to the roast, and the juices can be thickened for a delicious gravy.-Nancy Schuler, Belle Fourche, South Dakota
