Best Braised Beef

Best Braised Beef

1 large onion, halved and sliced
1 1/2 pounds any cheap beef (round chunks, for example)
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 cup white cooking wine
1 cup catsup

Arrange the onion and beef in the bottom of a Dutch oven (no need to brown the meat for this recipe).

Combine the next three ingredients, mix well, and pour over the meat. Cover and bake in a 325° oven for one hour. Baste and turn meat, cover, reduce heat to 300° and bake for one more hour.

Gravy will have reduced to half; no need for flour to thicken. Serve with your choice of mashed or boiled potatoes, rice, pasta.

I used a hunk of sirloin, but into pieces for this recipe and served it over rice. It was OK...I didn't like the sweet-catsupy taste but John loved it.
