Place roast in large soup pan, cover with beef broth and bring to a boil. Skim foam from pot and discard. Lower heat, so beef will cook at a low simmer. Add onion, peppercorns, bay leaves and nutmeg. Cover and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat is very tender and beginning to fall apart. (You can certainly use a crock pot to cook this roast!)
