TOTAL TIME

Place the 2.5 pound beef rump roast in the slow cooker.

Mix together the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, tomato paste, and beef broth in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

Cook on low for 8 hours until tender.

After cooking, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Dissolve the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a small amount of water, stir into the sauce in the slow cooker, then return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and toss with the sauce.

RICE AND BEANS

In a medium sauce pot, combine the 1 cup of long-grain white rice and 2 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until all liquid is absorbed by the rice.

Add the 15 ounces of rinsed and drained canned black beans and the 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh cilantro to the rice, stirring to combine.

PLANTAINS

Heat the 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced plantain and fry until golden brown on each side.

Season the fried plantain liberally with the 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and drain on a paper towel lined plate.

ASSEMBLY

Divide the flavored rice, shredded beef, fried plantains, and thinly sliced peppers evenly among meal prep bowls. Garnish each bowl with additional cilantro before storing in the refrigerator for weekday meals.
