Ingredients
Scale
Beef Roast
- 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast
Chipotle Pineapple Sauce
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup chipotle sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Rice
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a blender, combine pineapple chunks, chipotle sauce, beef broth, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- Slow Cook the Beef: Place the beef chuck roast into the crockpot. Pour the chipotle pineapple sauce over the roast, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
- Shred the Beef: Once cooked, remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot and stir it into the cooking sauce to absorb flavors.
- Prepare the Rice: While the beef is slow cooking, prepare white or brown rice according to package instructions.
- Assemble Bowls: Serve the shredded chipotle pineapple pot roast over a bed of warm cooked rice. Spoon extra sauce from the crockpot over the top to add moisture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a fatty cut of beef like chuck roast for best tenderness.
- The chipotle sauce adds smoky heat; adjust quantity based on spice preference.
- Fresh pineapple adds sweetness and tenderizes the meat, canned works well too.
- Leftover beef bowls can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- Swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
