Amish Pot Roast

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Step 2

Do not pound or flour the meat. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over high heat, then sear meat on both sides.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large roasting pan, combine soy sauce, coffee, bay leaves, garlic, oregano and one of the sliced onions.

Step 4

Transfer the browned meat to the roasting pan.

Step 5

Top with the second sliced onion.

Step 6

Cover and bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, basting every hour with pan juices.

Step 7

If the liquid begins to boil away, add another cup of coffee and a splash of soy sauce. You may need to repeat this procedure; there should be quite a bit of liquid.

Step 8

Cut the meat in thin slices and serve with pan juices.
