Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Main Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 pounds chuck roast
  • 2 to 3 chipotle peppers in adobo (natural), chopped
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks, drained, juice reserved
  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 cups plant-based beef broth

Aromatics and Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium bell peppers, diced

Spices and Sweeteners

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Serving Bases and Garnishes

  • 2 cups jasmine rice or cauliflower rice, cooked
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Avocado slices (plant-based), for garnish (optional)
  • Lime juice, for drizzling (optional)
  • Crushed toasted pepitas, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast. Season it generously with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the bell peppers. Drain the fresh pineapple chunks, reserving the juice for cooking.
  2. Sear the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until golden brown to lock in the juices and develop a rich crust that enhances the final flavor.
  3. Layer in the Crockpot: Place the seared roast at the bottom of the crockpot. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, diced bell peppers, pineapple chunks, chopped chipotle peppers in adobo (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), brown sugar (natural), reserved pineapple juice, and plant-based beef broth.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork. The chipotle will infuse a smoky heat, while pineapple adds sweetness that balances the flavors.
  5. Shred and Serve: Remove the roast and shred it with two forks. Return shredded meat to the crockpot and stir to mix with the juices and vegetables. Serve over jasmine rice or cauliflower rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and optional avocado slices, lime juice, and crushed pepitas.

Notes

  • Choose chuck roast for its marbling and tenderness during slow cooking.
  • Do not skip searing as it adds deeper flavor and a beautiful color to the meat.
  • Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spice level; start with less and add more if desired.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Allow the meat to rest briefly after cooking for easier shredding and juicier results.
