Main Dishes Recipe • Roast with Gravy

Roast like grandma used to make and easy gravy. This is a recipe my grandmother has made for years. I love the gravy that goes with this! Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (3 pound) beef sirloin tip roast
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups brewed coffee
• 1 ½ cups water
• 2 cubes beef bouillon
• 6 basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup water
• salt to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Heat olive oil in stock pot over medium heat; sear roast in the hot oil until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove roast from pot and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Return seared roast to the stock pot; pour coffee and 1 1/2 cup water over roast. Add beef bouillon, basil leaves, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper.
3. Bring broth to a boil; reduce heat to medium low, cover stock pot, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard basil leaves. Transfer roast to a serving dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil, keeping the broth in the stock pot over medium heat.
4. Whisk flour and 1/2 cup water together in a bowl until smooth. Slowly whisk flour mixture into broth until gravy is smooth and somewhat clear; season with salt. Pour about half the gravy over the roast and pour the rest into a gravy boat for serving.
