Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 lbs Beef Chuck Roast, trimmed
- 1 (20 oz) can Crushed Pineapple, undrained
- 1/4 cup Adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
- 1/2 cup Beef Broth
- 1 medium Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground Cumin
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat the chuck roast dry and place it directly into the slow cooker basin over the thinly sliced yellow onion.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple (with juice), adobo sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, and cumin until the sugar is dissolved. Pour this mixture entirely over the beef roast.
- Step 3: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 7 to 8 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 3.5 to 4 hours, until the beef is extremely tender and easily falls apart.
- Step 4: Once cooked, carefully remove the pot roast from the liquid and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the beef completely, discarding any large pieces of fat.
- Step 5: Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it into the pineapple chipotle liquid, allowing it to soak up the sauce for 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Step 6: Serve the chipotle pineapple pot roast over rice or quinoa to create the bowl, optionally topping with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
- Store leftover shredded pot roast and its sauce together in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze the batch for easy future meal prep.
- To reheat the pot roast, warm it slowly in a covered saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water or beef broth if the sauce has thickened too much overnight.
- For a brilliant texture contrast in your final bowl, serve the savory meat topped with crunchy elements like slivered almonds or quick pickled red onions.
- If you prefer a spicier, smokier flavor than the adobo sauce provides alone, finely mince one or two whole chipotle peppers from the can and incorporate them into the cooking liquid.
