DIRECTIONS

1:
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Dab beef dry and add 1/2 or 1/3 of beef to the pot, adding just enough not to overcrowd. Season with salt and pepper. Let sear until golden brown on bottom, about 3 minutes then flip and cook 1 minute longer. Transfer beef in pot to a plate along with juices and repeat process with remaining beef adding in another 1 Tbsp oil to pot.

2:
Add 1 Tbsp oil to now empty pot. Add carrots, celery and onion and saute 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
|
|
3:
Pour in broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Return beef to pot. Bring mixture to a simmer then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until beef is fairly tender, about 45-60 minutes.

4:
Add barley, cover and simmer until cooked through and beef is tender, about 45-60 minutes longer. Stir in parsley. Serve warm. Enjoy!
** NOTE: the dried herbs can be strong; I suggest starting with a wee bit LESS and adding in more if desired. Remember, you can always add in put you can't take it out.
