For an even richer au jus, consider adding a splash of red wine to the slow cooker along with the coffee and tomato sauce.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir into the au jus during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
To elevate the dish, add onions to the slow cooker during cooking. Serve with mashed potatoes and dill carrots for a complete and comforting meal.
