A delightful dish combining sweet, spicy, and savory flavors with tender beef, pineapple, and chipotle, perfect for family dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 12 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the roast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sear the beef on all sides until browned (about 3–4 minutes per side).
  2. Place the seared roast in the slow cooker. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, chipotle peppers, and pineapple chunks.
  3. Whisk together the pineapple juice, beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the Crockpot.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 480–600 minutes or on high for 240–360 minutes, until the beef is fork-tender.
  5. Once done, remove the roast, shred it with two forks, and return it to the Crockpot. Stir into the sauce and let it soak for another 10–15 minutes.
  6. While the beef is soaking, cook your choice of rice, warm the beans and corn, slice the avocado, and chop the bell pepper and cilantro.
  7. Layer each bowl with rice, shredded beef, beans, corn, chopped bell pepper, avocado, and cilantro. Top with lime wedges.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with additional cilantro and lime.

Notes

Make sure to sear the beef well before slow cooking for extra flavor. Adjust spice level with chipotle peppers as desired.
