I have made a recipe similar to this for years! Mine calls for 1 cup coffee and 1/4 cup soy sauce. I always use my crockpot. Low for 8 hours. Mine was never dry. This is a family favorite.

I've been looking for a good roast recipe and this is it. Super tasty and the whole family loved it. We used the leftovers to make sandwiches the next day. I will definitely make this again and again. I made it in the crockpot, super tender.

It came out dry for me. Maybe I cooked it too long? The flavor was good tho and the kids liked it, so I think I'll try again and see if I can get it right.

Best roast recipe I've ever tried. Tried it when it came out as a winner years ago and made my subscription worthwhile!

My husband doesn't normally care for pot roast, but we both loved this recipe. In fact, I think it will be the recipe I turn to whenever we have roast beef.

This is THE roast beef recipe I use. It is easy to prepare, and absolutely delicious. I have made it both in the crock pot, and on the stove top--each way with good results. After the meat is done, and the gravy has been thickened with the flour, I process the gravy in the blender. This eliminates the onion lumps, and creates a wonderfully smooth and thick gravy.

I did find out that Colombian coffee makes this recipe good. We used Arabica coffee once and it really was not a good roast. But other than that, this is the best roast recipe that we have tried.
