Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2-3 pounds beef chuck roast Chuck roast is preferred for its tenderness after slow cooking.
  • 1 cup chipotle adobo sauce Use a good quality brand for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup pineapple juice Fresh juice is preferable for a vibrant taste.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1 cup diced pineapple Add toward the end of cooking.
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa For serving.
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime zest for garnish
  • 1/2 cup crunchy red onion for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In your slow cooker, layer in the beef chuck roast. Pour the chipotle adobo sauce and pineapple juice over it, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Cover and set your slow cooker to low, letting it work its magic for 6-8 hours, until the meat is wonderfully tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  3. About 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat, stir in the diced pineapple.
  4. Once the meat is ready, shred it right in the slow cooker and mix it with that luscious sauce.
  5. Spoon the pot roast over bowls of fluffy rice or quinoa.
  6. Top with fresh cilantro, a sprinkle of lime zest, and crunchy red onion.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to three months. Reheat gently, adding a splash of water or broth if too thick.
