Ingredients

Instructions

Finely chop garlic in a food processor. Add brown sugar, mustard, oil, black pepper, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and 1/4 cup salt and process until smooth. Rub all over brisket, working into crevices. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 –2 days. Let meat sit out until room temperature, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325 °. Scatter onions in a large roasting pan and set brisket, fat side up, on top. Add beer; cover with foil. Braise until meat is very tender, 5 –6 hours. Remove from oven; heat broiler. Broil brisket, uncovered, until top is browned and crisp, 5 –10 minutes.
Let brisket cool slightly. Remove from pan and shred or slice. Remove onions with a slotted spoon; mix into brisket. Taste and moisten with some cooking liquid and season with salt, if needed.
Do ahead: Brisket can be braised 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat, covered, at 325 ° for 1 1/2 hours.

Why this Beer-Braised Brisket works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
