Method
- Heat oil in stockpot over medium heat until hot. Place chuck roast in stockpot; brown evenly. Pour off drippings; season with salt and pepper, as desired.
- Add beer, peppers, and 2 tablespoons adobo sauce to stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover tightly and simmer 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes or until pot roast is fork-tender.
- Combine coleslaw and remaining 1 teaspoon adobo sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
