Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup pearl barley
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add beef cubes and brown on all sides.

  • Pour in beef broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in barley, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook for 45-60 minutes, until barley is tender and beef is cooked through.
  • Remove the bay leaf before serving. Adjust seasoning as needed.
