Peking Roast image

Found this in a Heloise column. It was requested as a reprint from a recipe originally printed over 40 years ago. This roast beef is marinated and cooked in coffee! I love unusual sounding recipes. Might want to consider decaf!

Time P1DT10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 lbs roast beef (3-5 lbs.)
garlic, slivers
onion, slivers
1 cup cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
2 cups strong brewed coffee
2 cups water
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, cut slits all the way through the roast and insert slivers of onions and garlic.
  • Put the meat into a bowl and slowly pour the vinegar over it so that it runs down the sides into the slits.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
  • When ready to cook, pour the vinegar off.
  • Place the meat in a heavy dutch oven and brown in oil until very dark on all sides.
  • Pour the 2 cups of brewed coffee over the meat and then add 2 cups of water.
  • Cover and cook slowly for approximately 6 hours on top of the stove.
  • You may need to add more water at some point, so check it once in a while and add only a small amount of water at a time.
  • Season well, but do not add the salt and pepper until about 20 minutes before serving.
