Cooking Instructions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Beef Roast with Rich Gravy.

Step 1
To start your delicious beef roast, grab a stock pot and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully sear the beef roast for about two minutes on each side until it develops a lovely golden-brown crust.
Step 3
This step adds a wonderful depth of flavor, so don’t rush it! After browning, set the roast aside on a plate.
Step 4
Next, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic into the pot.
Step 5
Stir them around and let them cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until the onion turns a beautiful light brown and fills your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 6
Now it’s time to bring back that seared roast! Place it back in the pot and pour in the brewed coffee along with 1 and a half cups of water.
Step 7
Add the beef bouillon cubes, fresh basil leaves, salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 8
Bring this flavorful mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 9
Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer away for about 2 to 3 hours.
Step 10
This slow cooking will make the meat incredibly tender and flavorful.
Step 11
When the time is up, carefully transfer the roast to a serving dish and cover it with a lid or some aluminum foil to keep it warm and cozy.
Step 12
Discard the basil leaves from the pot, but keep that rich broth simmering over medium heat.
Step 13
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and the remaining half cup of water until it’s nice and smooth.
Step 14
Gradually add this mixture to the broth in the pot, stirring until the gravy is silky and clear.
Step 15
Give it a taste and adjust the salt if needed to make it just right.
Step 16
Now, pour about half of that luscious gravy over the roast, letting it soak in, and serve the rest in a gravy boat for everyone to enjoy.
Step 17
Your hearty beef roast is now ready to impress at the dinner table!.
