Gluten Free Italian Herb Pot Roast

This is a low-and-slow braise built entirely around a well-marbled chuck roast, seared until deeply browned, then simmered for hours in bone broth with rosemary, thyme, and oregano until it turns fork-tender. Carrots, parsnips, celery, and onion soften right in the pot, soaking up all that herby, savory braising liquid alongside a background hit of turmeric and ginger. A splash of apple cider vinegar brightens the pan juices before everything gets spooned generously over the sliced meat and vegetables. The whole thing is finished with a scatter of fresh parsley for a clean, herbal lift. It's a hearty, comforting one-pot dinner that fits neatly into a gluten free rotation, with nothing about the technique or ingredient list standing in the way of that. Serve it with the pan juices ladled over everything for the full effect.

2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the chuck roast thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season all over with the sea salt.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the roast and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes per side, until a deep mahogany crust forms and the meat releases easily from the pot. Transfer the seared roast to a plate.
