How to make amish pot roast:

Preheat oven to 300°. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over high heat, then sear meat on all sides.

Meanwhile, in a large roasting pan, combine the soy sauce, coffee, bay leaves, garlic, oregano and 1 of the sliced onions. Transfer the browned meat to the roasting pan. Top with the second sliced onion. Cover and bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, basting every hour with pan juices.

If the liquid begins to boil away, add another cup of coffee and a liberal splash of soy sauce. You may have to repeat this procedure. There should be quite a bit of liquid. Cut the meat in thin slices and serve with pan juices.
