Oh oh!!! I just made beef stew on Sunday, and had like my sixth bowl of it today for lunch. I LOVE this stuff. This is a beefy beef soup/stew not a tomato based vegetable and beef one. First time I've ever tried this recipe, but I'd totally recommend it... Mmmm..
Beef Barley Soup
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
2 pounds lean boneless beef sirloin steak , cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 celery rib, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion chopped
4 (14.5 ounce) cans reduced-sodium beef broth
4 medium carrots, sliced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tbsp rosemary or thyme
1 cup pearl barley
DIRECTIONS
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add beef and shake to coat. In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil over medium heat. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, saute mushrooms until tender. Add carrots, onions, garlic, and saute for 10 minutes. Add broth, rosemary, garlic powder and bring to a boil. Add barley and beef. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours until the meat, vegetables and barley are tender.
*using QUICK cooking barley means you only have to simmer for about 30 minutes.
