Coffee-Braised Chuck Roast

• 1 2 1/2 to 3 pound beef chuck roast (or similar cut)
• 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked pimenton
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 2 cups strong coffee
• 1 cup coca-cola

1. Mix all the dry ingredients into a rub and cover all surfaces of the roast liberally. You may have rub left over; it will keep. Wrap coated roast in plastic and refrigerate overnight, or allow to sit on the counter for an hour or so.
2. Brown roast on all sides in oil over medium high heat, using an oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven. When browned, add coffee and Coca-cola and bring to a boil; then cover andmove to a 300 degree oven.
3. Braise for 3 to 4 hours, until roast is falling-apart tender, adding water if it gets too dry. Serve torn into chunks or shredded, over arepas or rice.
