Equipment

  • Stock Pot or Dutch Oven This Le Creuset Dutch oven is one of my all-time favorite pieces of cookware. Super durable and versatile! Great for soups and stews.
  • Cutting Boards This 3-Pack of non-slip cutting boards are a fantastic tool for every home cook.
  • Wooden Spurtle Tools This 5-Piece Wooden kitchen tool set is amazing and great for use in non-stick cookware. No scratches and no plastic!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. sirloin steak trimmed and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 cup carrots chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup quick-cook barley
  • 1 (32 oz. carton) beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, add the olive oil, and heat to medium-high heat. Add sirloin and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown until cooked through. Remove beef from pot and place in separate bowl to keep warm.
  • To the hot stock pot, add the garlic, onion, celery and carrots. Saute in pan for 5-7 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add the beef back to the pot, and add the tomato paste, barley, beef broth, water, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Over medium-high heat, bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Be sure to reference cooking directions for the barley you purchase. If the barley is not quick-cook, be sure to adjust the simmering time to adequately cook the barley. Depending on the barley you purchase, this could be as long as 45-50 minutes.
