SOUTH AMERICAN POT ROAST

I have never been to South America, nor do I have a desire to ever go so I really can't vouch for this being a "South American" dish. It is a good way to prepare roast when you want to do something different.

1/4 cup canola oil
2 lb beef chuck roast
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
Salt and Pepper, to taste
2 medium to large carrots, sliced
2 jalapenos, chopped
2 medium bell peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 medium radishes, halved
2 sweet potatoes, chunked
1 can (8-oz) pineapple chunks
1 can (14 1/2-oz) stewed tomatoes
2 cups frozen corn
1 can (14-oz) coconut milk

Heat the oil in a saucepan.

Season roast with the garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper; brown on both sides. Transfer to a slow cooker or crock pot and add remaining ingredients.

Cook on low for approximately 8 hours.
