Low FODMAP Turnip Herb-Braised Beef Pot Roast

This hearty pot roast starts with a well-seared chuck roast, its exterior deeply browned before it settles into a bath of diced tomatoes, beef bone broth, and a splash of apple cider vinegar for brightness. Carrots, celery, and hearty turnip chunks soak up all that braising liquid as everything cooks low and slow until the beef turns fork-tender and pulls apart with almost no effort. Fresh thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves infuse the broth as it reduces into a rich, savory sauce worth spooning generously over the meat and vegetables. A scatter of chopped parsley at the end adds a fresh, herby finish that cuts through the richness. It's the kind of low-and-slow comfort food that reheats beautifully, making it easy to portion out for a Low FODMAP-friendly week of dinners. Simple, satisfying, and built for a Low FODMAP table without sacrificing any of that deep, slow-braised flavor.

Ingredients

6 servings

3 lb boneless beef chuck roast
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
Morton Kosher Salt, Coarse, 48 Ounce Morton Coarse Kosher Salt - 16 oz Kroger Coarse Kosher Salt Badia Spices Kosher Salt Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt - 26 OZ
See all
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tbsp olive oil
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1 1/3 stalks of celery is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 2/3 stalk of celery per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid celery, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 lb turnips, peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, no salt added
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1/3 cup of diced tomatoes is low in FODMAPs. This recipe works out to right about that much per serving, so it is likely Low FODMAP, though it does not leave room for a second helping. If you prefer to always avoid diced tomatoes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 cups beef bone broth
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

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 salt and black pepper.
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 brown crust forms on all surfaces. Transfer the seared roast to a plate.
