What is Pikes Peak Roast Beef recipe

The Pikes Peak Roast Beef recipe is all about slow comfort and real flavor. You season the beef generously, sear it until deeply browned, then roast it low and slow with onions, garlic, and broth. Truth be told, it smells like family dinners and quiet Sundays. Simple steps. Honest food.

Timing

  • Prep time: 20 minutes
  • Cook time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Resting time: 15 minutes
  • Total: About 2 hours 50 minutes

How to Make Pikes Peak Roast Beef recipe

Step 1: Prepare the roast beef

Remove the meat from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, pat dry with paper towels, season generously with salt, pepper, and spice mix, and let the seasonings penetrate the meat for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the sauce

A transparent glass bowl containing a black liquid sauce consisting of soy sauce, minced garlic, ground coffee, and a metal mixer that mixes everything together.

In a small bowl, combine the coffee, fresh minced garlic, and soy sauce. Mix well and let stand for a few minutes to blend.

Step 3: First stage of cooking

Uncooked Pikes Peak Roast Beef, generously seasoned with herbs and surrounded by sliced mushrooms, ready to be slow-cooked in a rich, flavorful marinade.

Place half of the sliced onions and mushrooms in the bottom of a Dutch oven, then add the roasted meat and spread the vegetables around it. Next, pour the soy sauce and coffee mixture over it.

Step 4: Cooking over low heat

Slow-cooked beef cooked in a rich, dark sauce with tender onions and mushrooms, resulting in a delicious and comforting main course.

After placing all the ingredients in the pot, cover it and place it in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for two to two and a half hours. Set the cooking time carefully.
When the meat is cooked, remove it and place it on a cooling rack.

Step 5: Thicken the sauce and add flavor

A whisk stirs the mushroom and onion broth, which looks thick, rich, and dark brown in a pot.

When you remove the meat from the pot, ladle out a cup of broth and set it aside. Gradually add the cornstarch and stir gently to blend the broth without clumping. Bring to a boil and continue cooking over low heat.

Professional Cooking Tips

  • To avoid the sauce thickening, remove a cup of sauce before adding the cornstarch or flour, and if it becomes too thick, thin it out with the cup you set aside.
  • Patience is important in this recipe. Don’t rush it; let the meat cook over low heat.
  • Adding spices to the meat in the first stage is sufficient because the ingredients ensure flavor during cooking.
  • Very important: Meat must be left to rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicy and moist meat.

How to Serve Pikes Peak Roast Beef recipe

Here’s where creativity kicks in.

  • Thick slices with mashed potatoes and gravy
  • Shredded beef piled onto crusty bread
  • Served cold the next day with mustard (believe it or not)
  • Paired with roasted vegetables or buttery noodles

How to Store and Reheat

To store Pikes Peak Roast Beef recipe leftovers, let the meat cool, then wrap it tightly or place it in an airtight container with a bit of its juices. Refrigerate for up to four days. When reheating, go gently. Warm it in a covered pan with broth or gravy. Honestly, low heat keeps it tender and comforting.
