OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST IN COFFEE GRAVY
Believe it or not, coffee 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.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (4 to 5-1/2 pounds) 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 Law Coffee
- 1 tablespoon instant flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, chilled
- 1/4 cup whiskey (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 325 F.
On a large plate or platter, stir together flour, salt, and pepper. Dust the beef roast with the seasoned flour, discarding any excess. Heat the oil in a large, heavy ovenproof skillet 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.
Serve with plenty of hot, buttered wide egg noodles.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

COFFEE ICE CREAM
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 6 egg yolks
- Chocolate curls, for garnish
- Ice cream maker
Directions:
Combine the cream, milk, sugar, and coffee in a medium, heavy saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks. Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Remove from the refrigerator and pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After the ice cream is made, transfer to an airtight container. Cover tightly and freeze until ready to serve. Garnish with chocolate curls.
