Coffee-Braised Chuck Roast
- 1 2 1/2 to 3 pound beef chuck roast (or similar cut)
- 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked pimenton
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups strong black coffee
- 1 cup Coca-cola
- 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.
- Brown roast on all sides in oil over medium high heat, in an oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven.
- When browned, add coffee and Coca-cola. Bring to a boil, then move to a 300 degree oven for about 3 to 4 hours. Roast should be well beyond slicing, and should be torn into chunks with a fork.
- Serve over white rice or arepas.
