Ingredients
Scale
- 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: sliced jalapeños for extra heat
Instructions
- Place the beef chuck roast into the slow cooker and season generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. In a small bowl, mix chopped chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, garlic, tomato paste, and beef broth. Pour this mixture over the roast, ensuring it is well coated.
- Add sliced onions and pineapple chunks around the roast to infuse sweetness and tang. Cover and set your Crock-Pot to low for 8 hours or high for 4-6 hours.
- Allow the slow cooker to cook until the beef is tender and flavorful. About an hour before serving, check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Shred the meat slightly using two forks directly in the crockpot for a richer taste.
- Serve the pot roast over rice, cauliflower rice, or zoodles. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeños for added spice. Enjoy your flavorful Crockpot Chipotle Pineapple Pot Roast Bowls.
Notes
- Use fresh pineapple chunks for the best flavor, but canned works well too.
- Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers based on your spice preference.
- Shredding the beef at the end enhances the texture and allows flavors to meld.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer the juices in a skillet until slightly reduced.
