Wind down your day with this nourishing american Coffee and Wine Beef Stew. A well-balanced dinner is essential for women managing PCOS, as it supports overnight hormone regulation and helps prepare the body for restful sleep. This recipe combines wholesome ingredients that support both satiety and metabolic health.

Key PCOS-Friendly Ingredients: Beef is a source of iron and zinc — two minerals often low in women with PCOS. Coconut is contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for quick energy. Garlic is supports cardiovascular health and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Adequate protein intake is crucial for PCOS management as it helps stabilize blood sugar levels and reduces cravings.

This recipe pairs well with a side of leafy greens or a simple mixed salad to add extra fiber and micronutrients to your dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs. Stew Meat
  • 3 Cups Coffee
  • 1 Cup Beef Stock
  • 1 1/2 Cup Mushrooms (Baby Bella)
  • 2/3 Cup Red Wine (Merlot)
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 3 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Capers
  • 2 tsp. Garlic
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Pepper

Instructions

  1. Cube all stew meat into bite size chunks. Cut off excess grit. Season with 1 tsp. Salt and 1 tsp. Pepper.
  2. Slice onions, mushrooms, and mince garlic.
  3. Bring 3 Tbsp. Coconut Oil to its smoking point in a pan on the stove.
  4. Brown your beef in batches that don’t overcrowd the pan.
  5. As you finish a batch, remove the beef to a plate and continue with your other batch (or batches).
  6. Brew 3 cups of strong coffee. I use a Keurig coffee maker for this.
  7. Once the beef is finished, start sauteing 1 Medium Onion, 1 1/2 Cup Mushrooms, and 2 tsp. Minced Garlic in the remaining fat.
  8. Once the onions are translucent, add 3 Cups Coffee, 1 Cup Beef Stock, 2/3 Cup Red Wine, and 2 Tbsp. Capers
  9. Mix everything together well, then add your beef. Bring the mixture to a boil
  10. Once mixture is boiling, turn the stove to low and cover the pan with a lid.
  11. Let this cook for 3 hours on low.
  12. If you want to, you can let this simmer without a lid for 30 minutes after the 3 hour mark. This will help reduce the liquids if you want a thicker sauce.
