Make pot roast with gravy like you had when you were young with my grandmother's recipe. Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables on the side.

Ingredients

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

Directions

Heat oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Sear roast in hot oil until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a plate.
Add onion and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
Return roast to the pot; pour coffee and 1 1/2 cup water over top. Add bouillon, basil, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2 to 3 hours.
Transfer roast to a serving dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil. Discard basil leaves. Keep broth in the pot over medium heat.
Whisk flour and remaining 1/2 cup water together in a bowl until smooth; slowly whisk into broth until gravy is smooth and somewhat clear. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
Pour about 1/2 of the gravy over roast, and pour the rest into a gravy boat for serving.

Tips

If you don't mind straining carrots from the broth, they go well with this and add a nice flavor. Just add them in before you cover the meat. I usually add 1 to 1 1/2 small bags of baby carrots.
