1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of beef broth, 1 cup of brewed coffee (cooled), 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
4. Lightly spray a Dutch oven or large roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.
