  • 2 1/2 to 3 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, with a little juice)
  • 12 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the can)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

  3. Transfer roast to crockpot.
  4. Add pineapple chunks, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, beef broth, sliced red onion, and minced garlic around and over the roast.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until beef is very tender.

  • Increase chipotle peppers for more heat.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice or in lettuce cups for a lighter option.
