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
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 for garnish Scallions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 2-inch chunks.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat your slow cooker. Transfer the marinated meat and all the marinade into the slow cooker.

Step 5

Cover and cook on the low setting for about 4 to 5 hours, or until the beef is tender and full of flavor.

Step 6

Add the pineapple slices into the slow cooker about 30 minutes before the cooking is completed.

Step 7

Once the beef is ready, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry.

Step 8

Set the slow cooker to high, and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until the sauce thickens, approximately 5 to 10 more minutes.

Step 9

Turn off the slow cooker. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Hawaiian Barbecue Beef hot with your choice of rice or gluten-free noodles.
