Pot Roast in Tipsy Gravy image

The addition of coffee and a tad whiskey makes an incredibly rich and beefy gravy for this pot roast. The roast is slow-cooked in the oven until fork tender. Serve with hot, buttered noodles or traditional mashed potatoes and a veggie/salad of your choice. (Note: I have also tweaked this when in the mood by adding a few cloves of garlic when sauteeing the onion and halved mushrooms to the dutch oven while baking.

Time 3h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (4 -5 1/2 lb) beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
4 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups water
2 cups freshly brewed coffee
1 tablespoon instant flour (Wondra)
2 tablespoons butter, chilled
1/3 cup whiskey (optional)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • On a large plate or platter, stir together flour, salt, and pepper. Dip the beef roast into the seasoned flour, discarding any excess.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy ovenproof skillet or dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add the roast and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes a side. Remove the roast from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add onions to the drippings in the skillet and saute over medium heat until they are softened. Return the roast to the skillet; add bay leaves, thyme, water and coffee. Bring to a simmer, stirring and turning to combine the seasonings with the roast.
  • Cover and place the skillet in the oven. Bake for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until fork tender. Remove the roast from the skillet, discard any bones or gristle and set aside, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
  • To prepare the gravy, place the skillet over medium heat, skim off any excess fat and add water, if necessary, to equal about 2-1/2 cups liquid. Sprinkle the instant flour over the gravy in the skillet and cook about 5 minutes, stirring until smooth and thickened. Stir in the butter and whiskey, if desired, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Return the roast to the skillet to warm in the gravy, then serve with plenty of hot, buttered wide egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

I didn't like the taste of the wine in the gravy. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pot roast didn't turn out as tender as I expected. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my pot roast turned out tough and dry. The gravy was also bland.

I wasn't sure about the tipsy gravy at first, but I'm glad I tried it. The wine adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the gravy.

I love the addition of the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. They add a nice tangy flavor to the gravy.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The low and slow cooking process really tenderizes the meat and makes it fall apart in your mouth.
