Ingredients:

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil (low-FODMAP flavor boost)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 baby carrots
• 2 cups baby potatoes (use white or red for low-FODMAP)
• 1 cup low-FODMAP beef broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

How to Make It:

1. Prep the beef. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Heat garlic-infused olive oil in a skillet and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
   
2. Build the flavor. Place the seared roast in the slow cooker. Add carrots, potatoes, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and broth.
   
3. Let it cook. Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
   
4. Thicken the sauce (optional). Mix cornstarch with a bit of water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes for a richer gravy.
   
5. Rest & serve. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before serving. Shred or slice, then serve with veggies and a spoonful of that savory broth.

Quick Tips

• Use garlic-infused olive oil for that classic flavor without FODMAP worries.
