The Faithful Crockpot: Part 4

Last week was a big week for my freezers having restocked on a half steer from a local farmer... organic, grass-fed. The last half steer lasted 18 months. Why do I tell you this... only to assure you that the final rump roast from the 2010 steer was as good as the first one. The following recipe is great for a rump cut or an eye of round. A friend shared this recipe with me at least 2 decades ago, and I am still loving it.

EYE OF ROUND

eye of round or rump roast       2 Tbsp. sesame seed                  1/2 cup soy sauce

1 Tbsp. white vinegar              1/2 cup leftover black coffee

                       

Place meat in crockpot (cut meat in half, if necessary, to fit in your crockpot or freeze one half for another time). Pour other ingredients over. Cook high 1 hour, then low 4-5 hours. (OR cook low 8 hours). Slice with electric knife & serve with juice. I like to thicken the juice a bit by mixing 2 Tbsp. cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. Ladle juice into saucepan and stir in cornstarch mixture. Heat for 4-5 min. As good as French Dip at O’Charley’s! Great leftover— meat slices heated in gravy. Serve over large rolls, rice, or noodles.
