Perfect Sunday Roast - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
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
- In a roasting pan, let the 5 lb. Roast sit at room temperature for 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375F. Begin mixing the spices together in a small bowl.
- Rub the roast down with the seasonings, making sure the whole top is liberally covered.
- 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.
- About 30-45 minutes before serving the meat, turn the oven back on to 375F.
- Remove the roast from the oven and cover with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes additionally.
- Slice the roast as thick as you’d like it. We got 2 large slices per person, serving 8 people total with some leftovers.
- Serve! I had this with a side of broccoli with ranch and hot sauce.
