Instructions
Season & Sear the Beef: Season roast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sear beef on all sides until browned (3–4 minutes per side).
Load the Crockpot: Place seared roast in slow cooker. Add onions, garlic, chipotle peppers, and pineapple chunks.
Mix Sauce: In a bowl, whisk pineapple juice, beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire, cumin, and smoked paprika. Pour over beef and veggies.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low 8–10 hours or high 4–6 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
Shred Beef: Remove roast, shred with two forks, return to crockpot, and stir into sauce. Let soak for 10–15 minutes.
Prepare Bowl Ingredients: Cook rice, warm beans and corn, slice avocado, chop bell pepper and cilantro.
Assemble Bowls: Layer rice, shredded beef, beans, corn, bell pepper, avocado, and cilantro. Top with lime wedges.
Serve: Enjoy warm and fresh!
Notes
Adjust chipotle peppers to taste—1 pepper for mild, 2+ for smoky heat.
Great for meal prep! Store shredded beef separately in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
Leftovers make amazing tacos, quesadillas, or nachos.
