Absolutely this low-FODMAP stew is perfect for a winter evening. We agree that low-FODMAP is a bit overwhelming at first, Penelope. That is why we created our free ‘Happy Gut Guide’ to help with the process. Hope you find it useful as well 🙂

Can you use a pressure cooker instead? Can you add scallion greens? or chives? Is it possible to kill your gut with red grapes?

Thanks Denise,
We have not tried a pressure cooker, if you have expertise in using one and want to try it, let us know! You could add the green tips of scallions or chives if you like. Good luck!Reply
Instant Pot
I used an Instant Pot to make this delicious stew. Brown the meat in the oil, add everything but the flour. Pressure cook for 30 minutes. Quick release pressure, scoop out 1/2 cup broth and mix in the flour. Add the flour mixture back in and select the saute function for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Thanks to another commenter for noting that many Worcestershire sauces contain onion and garlic.

AMAZING Dan! You are so helpful to share this!!
We also appreciate your comment about Worcestershire sauce. While it often does contain onion and garlic, the amounts are so small that MONASH states a 2 tablespoon serving is low-FODMAP. However, we agree that when possible, select a brand without onion and garlic. For this recipe that serves 6 people, the 1 tablespoon measurement will not be concerning. Have a great day!Reply
Instant pot
Thank you for putting up the directions for the instant pot. I did this tonight and it turned out perfect!! I’ll be making this again and again.

Sally,
FANTASTIC! Thank you all!!
Awesome!
Tried this recipe. Made some substitutions. I used tomato juice instead of the tomato paste, subtracting the water from the broth (used cubes). I also made it with sirloin steak because it was cheaper than the stew meat. Made it on the stove and cooked it for 1.5 hours. It was great!

Kerry,
That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!Reply
I can’t use Worcestershire sauce. Can you suggest a substitute?
Reply
Thanks for the question Lindy,
You can either skip the ingredient, or try substituting 1 & 1/2 teaspoons plain or gluten-free soy sauce, mixed with 1/2 teaspoon vinegar and a little brown sugar instead. Good luck!Reply
D-licious !
Thos was a good recipe for my poor hubby who is currently on a low fodmap diet. Dosent take long to put together and makes my house smell freaking delicious!
Thanks!Reply
Super feedback! Thank you for sharing 🙂

Slow Cooker - Regular
Tried this for the first time on Saturday and already plotting the next one 🙂
Worcestershire sauce here in Ireland seems to all have onion, so used Soy instead.
Such a delicious recipe, and a great website.
Thank you, Rachel!

Will this freeze well?
I love this! It’s easy to make and delicious! Even my husband, who does not need to eat a low Fodmap diet, loves it!
Two questions:
1) will this freeze well? Do you have recipes that you recommend that freeze well?2) do you need to cook the meat before putting it in the slow cooker or can you put the raw meat directly in?
Thank you!

Hi Ilana,
Thank you for your comments!
In our experience, potatoes do not freeze very well as the texture will end up mushy on reheating. If you wanted to freeze it, we suggest removing the potatoes first.
For good low-FODMAP freezer options, try our low-FODMAP Meat and Quinoa One-pot, low-FODMAP Sweet and Sour Meatballs, low-FODMAP Meatloaf, low-FODMAP Teriyaki Chicken Casserole, low-FODMAP Maple Turkey Breast, low-FODMAP Chili, or low-FODMAP Lasagna.
The flavor is enhanced by browning the meat first and we do not suggest skipping this step.
Good luck!Reply
Amazing!
This stew was delicious! I used beef short rib and it was melt in your mouth amazingness. My whole family raved about it! Thank you for the great recipe!

Just wow...
I didn’t have high hopes for this stew when I made it. I couldn’t find any safe broth so I just subbed water and 1.5 tsp salt. THIS WAS FREAKING DELICIOUS. I also added a few dashes of hot sauce because I love some heat. This is really fantastic stew!!

Hi Suz,
We are so happy to hear from you! What a lovely review to read 🙂
We are familiar with the challenge of finding low-FODMAP Soup Stock, that is why we created our line of 3 Happy Soup flavors, all lab-certified as low-FODMAP. You may want to take a look at these for future.
Have a lovely day!!Reply
Super tasty! We’re fans in our home. Question though, has anyone tried to freeze it? I know it keeps in the fridge for a week, but I may have over planned this week and may need to freeze my stew ?
Reply
Thank you! Typically potatoes do not freeze well as the texture ends up mushy when defrosting. For that reason we don’t recommend freezing this stew for best flavor. Stay in touch!!

Yummy - added one more thing
Made this last night but added one other favorite ingredientbthat gives a richness to the flavour. That is liver paste ( not sure if FOD Map ok) as i just plucked this recipe from online. I use this in similar style beef dishes.
Reply
This has to be the BEST recipe I’ve ever used! Beef is so tender and the flavor is on point! I will NEVER use another recipe! In fact, for the past two weeks I’ve ONLY used Rachel’s recipes for this and other things. I have felt 100 x better and have had ZERO issues with digestion and my IBS !!!! THANK YOU!!!

Winter warmer, full of flavour (thanks for the GF Worcester Sauce recipe too?) easy, comforting dinner! We just added some green beans & peas, cooked separately ?

Should the broth be covering all of the beef /carrots/potatoes? I think I used slightly over 2lb beef and a little extra carrot and the broth is only hitting the bottom of them in the crockpot. Do I need more broth ?
Reply
We are sorry, but we aren’t sure how to answer you accurately without seeing your crockpot. If you used the correct amounts of the ingredients, then it may not cover the bottom. Juices will arise from cooking the meat. However, if you added more of the items then probably add some more broth to compensate. Hope that helps!
