Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Pineapple slices
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 2-inch chunks.
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add the beef chunks into the mixture, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your slow cooker. Transfer the marinated meat and all the marinade into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on the low setting for about 4 to 5 hours, or until the beef is tender and full of flavor.
Add the pineapple slices into the slow cooker about 30 minutes before the cooking is completed.
Once the beef is ready, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry.
Set the slow cooker to high, and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until the sauce thickens, approximately 5 to 10 more minutes.
Turn off the slow cooker. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Serve the Hawaiian Barbecue Beef hot with your choice of rice or gluten-free noodles.
