Ingredients

Scale

3 pounds chuck roast
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup prepared coffee
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 large white onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water (for slurry)
Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the roast.
Add the soy sauce, prepared coffee, Worcestershire sauce, sliced onion, and bay leaves to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the roast is tender and easily shreds.
Once the roast is done, remove it from the slow cooker and set aside. Discard the bay leaves.
To make the gravy, mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the remaining liquid in the slow cooker and cook on high for 10-15 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Slice or shred the pot roast and return it to the gravy. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add carrots or potatoes to the slow cooker during the last 2 hours of cooking.
If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, feel free to increase the amount of coffee used.
The gravy can be adjusted by adding more cornstarch slurry if you want a thicker consistency.
