This american Perfect Sunday Roast makes for a satisfying and nutritious midday meal. For women with PCOS, lunch is an opportunity to refuel with nutrient-dense foods that help maintain stable blood sugar levels and sustained energy throughout the afternoon. This recipe is thoughtfully crafted to deliver the right balance of macronutrients.

Key PCOS-Friendly Ingredients: Beef is a source of iron and zinc — two minerals often low in women with PCOS. 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.

Baking and roasting are excellent cooking methods for PCOS-friendly meals as they require minimal added fat while developing deep flavors. This recipe pairs well with a side of leafy greens or a simple mixed salad to add extra fiber and micronutrients to your lunch.

Ingredients

  • 5 lbs. Beef Rib Roast
  • 2 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder

Instructions

  1. In a roasting pan, let the 5 lb. Roast sit at room temperature for 60 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375F. Begin mixing the spices together in a small bowl.
  3. Rub the roast down with the seasonings, making sure the whole top is liberally covered.
  4. Now, for the hard part. Let the roast sit in the oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour, turn off the oven completely. Let the roast sit in the oven for 3 hours. Do NOT open the oven door – you want the residual heat to continue cooking the meat.
  5. About 30-45 minutes before serving the meat, turn the oven back on to 375F.
  6. Remove the roast from the oven and cover with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes additionally.
  7. Slice the roast as thick as you’d like it. We got 2 large slices per person, serving 8 people total with some leftovers.
  8. Serve! I had this with a side of broccoli with ranch and hot sauce.
