Reviews for Slow-Cooked Coffee Beef Roast
AVERAGE RATING
MY REVIEW
"We've made this several times and love the flavor and tenderness of the meat."
"Just eh. I'm sure not going to find my chili powder had a lot to do with it."
"This is absolutely wonderful! Excellent flavor! Easy to prepare and the leftovers, if there are any, make a fantastic stew. When we want to splurge, we use croissants to make sandwiches from the leftovers!"
"I also added a cup of beef broth and used a shoulder roast because that was what I had. My husband absolutely loved it!"
"I agree that it had a musky smell when cooking, however, it was very tender and flavorful. Then again, I didn't have the chili powder so I substituted cayenne pepper for it. That exchange added a nice "bite" to the flavor."
"This roast did not have a flavor I liked. It tasted musky. Eating it reminded me of having a cup of coffee that had been sitting out for a few hours. The flavor was overwhelming. It also did not smell good. Again, the only word I can think to describe it is musky."
"I've made this recipe many, many times and always get raves. Everyone loves the tender meat and the gravy is wonderful. It is great with garlic mashed potatoes."
"I didn't cut my roast in half, and I found the roast to be rather dry. I'm not sure what could be the reason for that, I cooked it for 8 hours on low. The coffee sauce needed something else, overall it was a bland roast."
