Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 20 oz pineapple chunks (canned, with juice)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, fresh and grated
- 1 unit green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 unit red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 unit onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast. Season the roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In the Crock Pot, combine the pineapple chunks along with their juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and fresh grated ginger. Stir to mix the sauce ingredients well.
Add the chopped green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion to the Crock Pot, spreading them evenly over the bottom.
Place the seasoned chuck roast on top of the vegetable mixture, ensuring it is well nestled in the sauce.
Set the Crock Pot to low and cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the roast from the Crock Pot and transfer it to a serving platter. Cover it with foil to keep warm.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce still in the Crock Pot, setting it to high for 5-10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Carve or shred the roast beef and serve it with the thickened Polynesian sauce spooned over the top. This dish pairs well with steamed white rice or mashed potatoes.
