Tender spiced beef is great to have on hand for lunch or a quick snack, with pickles and coleslaw. This dish is part of our pub fare menu. Allow plenty of time: this needs several days to marinate and at least 7 hours of cooking time before serving.

Ingredients

1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. ground allspice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 c. kosher salt
1 tbsp. molasses
4 lb. boneless tied beef rib roast or chuck roast
12 oz. Guinness Stout
Bread
bottled horseradish
Coleslaw
Pickles

Instructions

Mix spices, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir in molasses to form a dry paste; rub all over beef. Place meat in a nonreactive container or resealable bag. Let marinate 4 to 7 days in the refrigerator, turning and rubbing beef once each day.
Place beef and stout in a wide (6- to 8-quart) pot and add water to just cover beef. Bring to a simmer; cover and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 3 hours (30 minutes more if using chuck). Remove from heat, but let beef sit in pot for 2 hours. When cool, remove beef and chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
Slice meat and assemble sandwiches with bread; if desired, add horseradish to taste. Serve with coleslaw and pickles.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
