6 servings
For the roast
- 3 lb bone-in or boneless beef chuck roast
- 1 Ā½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- Ā½ tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
For the vegetables
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 3 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 medium parsnips, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
For the braising liquid
- 2 cups bone broth (homemade or aip-compliant brand)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
Ingredient noteCoconut aminos is a common stand-in for soy sauce on a candida diet. It does carry a little sugar from coconut sap, but this recipe uses less than a teaspoon per serving, which is likely fine.

- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, turmeric, and ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the roast.

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the roast and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms and the meat releases easily from the pan. Sear the edges briefly as well, about 1 minute per edge.
