Ingredients

Scale

For the Pot Roast:

  • 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple if used)
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Bowls:

  • 4 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice for low-carb)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season and Sear the Beef: Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance flavor. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. This caramelizes the meat and locks in juices.
  2. Assemble Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the seared roast at the bottom of a large crockpot. Surround it with chopped onions, minced garlic, and chopped chipotle peppers—adjust the heat by using one pepper or removing seeds if preferred. Scatter pineapple chunks over the roast and vegetables to add sweetness and tang.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix pineapple juice, beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, and smoked paprika until combined. Pour this sauce evenly over the roast and vegetables in the crockpot to infuse flavor and moisture during cooking.
  4. Slow Cook the Pot Roast: Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the roast isn’t drying out; add extra beef broth if needed. This slow process makes the beef incredibly tender and flavorful as flavors meld.
  5. Shred the Beef: Once tender, remove the roast and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return shredded beef to the crockpot, stir it into the juices and vegetables, and let it soak on low for another 10-15 minutes to absorb more flavor.
  6. Prepare Bowl Ingredients: Cook your chosen rice according to package directions. Warm black beans and corn, chop the red bell pepper, slice avocado, and roughly chop fresh cilantro to prepare your toppings.
  7. Assemble the Bowls: Begin with a base of cooked rice, then top with shredded chipotle pineapple beef, black beans, corn, chopped bell pepper, and avocado slices. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant, layered flavors and textures—tender, smoky, sweet beef with creamy avocado and fresh herbs—for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can adjust the number of chipotle peppers to control the spice level, removing seeds for less heat.
  • Use fresh pineapple for a sweeter, more vibrant flavor or canned pineapple if convenience is preferred.
  • Substitute cauliflower rice for a low-carb or paleo-friendly option.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Adding extra beef broth during cooking helps prevent drying and maintains juiciness.
  • For gluten-free, ensure soy sauce is replaced with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
