4 pounds chuck roast
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups prepared strong coffee

2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water

Directions
1 Preheat slow cooker to low setting OR preheat oven to
350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Using a sharp knife, make 5 or 6 deep slits around the
top and side of the roast. Push the whole cloves of garlic
down into the slits. Place the meat in a slow cooker OR a
10x15 inch roasting pan and pour the coffee over the meat.
3 Cook in slow cooker on low setting for 6 to 8 hours OR
bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 2 to 3 hours.
4 When roast is done, remove from slow cooker OR oven,
and pour the drippings into a small saucepan over medium
low heat. In a separate small bowl, combine the
cornstarch and water. Mix well and add slowly to the drippings,
stirring constantly. Simmer until thickened.
