3-5 lb. beef roast. any cut, even the cheapest

Steps:

  • 2. put the meat in a large zip-lock bag or container large enough to hold, and slowly pour the vinegar over it. add enough water to cover the meat. seal bag or cover bowl with plastic and baste the meat occasionally with the vinegar mixture. refrigerate 24 to 48 hours
  • 3. before cooking, DRAIN THE MEAT. Heat enough oil to cover bottom of a heavy pot over med. high heat (a cast-iron dutch oven is good). add the meat and brown until very dark on all sides. pour the coffee over and add enough water to cover. cover with a lid, reduce heat and cook slowly for approximately 6 hours.
