Ingredients

  • 1 3 pound boneless beef chuck pot roast

  • 2 teaspoon garlic-pepper seasoning

  • 1 7 ounce package dried mixed fruit

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

  • 1 tablespoon cold water

  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch

  • Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

Directions

  1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit into a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle both sides of meat with garlic-pepper seasoning. Place meat in cooker. Add fruit, the 1/2 cup water, and the chipotle peppers.

  2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 11 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 5 1/2 hours. Transfer meat and fruit to a serving platter; thinly slice meat. Cover meat and fruit and keep warm.

  3. For sauce, pour cooking liquid into a bowl or glass measuring cup; skim off fat. In a medium saucepan combine the 1 tablespoon cold water and cornstarch; stir into cooking liquid. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.

  4. Serve meat and fruit with sauce. If desired, garnish with cilantro.
