Peking Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    To Marinate
    5 lbs roast beef (3-5 lbs.)
    garlic, slivers
    onion, slivers
    1 cup cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
    To Cook
    2 cups strong brewed coffee
    2 cups water
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    With a sharp knife, cut slits all the way through the roast and insert slivers of onions and garlic.
    Put the meat into a bowl and slowly pour the vinegar over it so that it runs down the sides into the slits.
    Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
    When ready to cook, pour the vinegar off.
    Place the meat in a heavy dutch oven and brown in oil until very dark on all sides.
    Pour the 2 cups of brewed coffee over the meat and then add 2 cups of water.
    Cover and cook slowly for approximately 6 hours on top of the stove.
    You may need to add more water at some point, so check it once in a while and add only a small amount of water at a time.
    Season well, but do not add the salt and pepper until about 20 minutes before serving.
