1 tbsp. oil
3 lb. roast (sirloin tip works well)
1/4 c. soy sauce
1 c. coffee (regular or decaf)
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
2 onions, sliced
additional coffee or soy sauce (as desired)
additional onion, sliced
black pepper

Sear roast on all sides in 1 tablespoon hot oil. Combine all the other ingredients in a crock-pot. Transfer roast to crock-pot and slice another onion on top. Sprinkle with black pepper. Cook all day.

This roast slices well hot or cold and the pan juices (strain out the onions) make a great dipping sauce with hard rolls as a French dip sandwich.

This is an old Amish recipe and smells absolutely wonderful as it cooks.
