Slow Cooker Coffee Braised Roast
We were up in Anchorage recently to visit our son and his family. My daughter in law is such a fantastic cook. She made the best flavored roast I have had! She used coffee granules in the marinade and I don’t drink coffee so was a bit worried about liking the flavors but yum! It was very tender. This is an easy recipe that is gluten-free and dairy-free and the best part is she is sharing her recipe. She made this using Elk Roast but I’m sure it would work fine for regular beef.

Looks like good flavors in this as long as the coffee flavor isn’t overpowering since I don’t like coffee.

I don’t like coffee or drink it….so I can vouch the coffee isn’t overpowering and I didn’t notice any “coffee” flavor.
When you use coffee granules, do you mean ground coffee from beans or instant coffee?
We used freshly ground coffee beans like you would use for making coffee…fresh grounds orchidlady01
