Very Good! When serving it to guests they asked for the recipe and wondered what the secret was! I put the sauce over my roast in the crock-pot rather than doing in on the stove top.

I made it in a regular stock pan from my set and it worked well. I also added chopped potatoes and carrots and cooked with the roast, removing them before making gravy. It turned out well seasoned.

I agree with other reviewers, this is a roast you can bet on. When looking for a roast recipe, I try to find one specific to my cut of meat, usually getting the best results. This was the case for my eye round roast which I purchased on special. My guests were impressed with not only the flavor, but the tasty gravy which came out beautiful. I followed another reviewers advice and blended the meat juices with my emulsion blender before adding the flour. I also added Kitchen Bouquet to give it a rich color. Other than that, no changes to the recipe. I'll make this one again next time this cut goes on special.

This is my favorite roast beef recipe. I always follow the recipe exactly as it is written. I have used the sauce as a baste for oven roasts as well as the pot roast.

I make this recipe ALL THE TIME ... and have for years. It is my favorite. I do use more coffee & beef broth because I want more gravey. It is always so tender and my guests always like it too.

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.
