BURGER AND BARLEY STEW

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons oil or other fat
2 pounds ground meat of your choice, such as beef, pork, turkey, chicken, lamb etc. (you can also use cubed stew meat; it will just take longer to cook)
1 large onion, diced (about 2 cups)
1 pound sliced mushrooms
2 carrots, cut into discs
1 cup barley (rice, farro or other grains are also fine)
2 tablespoons dried herbs (basil, thyme and oregano will all work)
2 quarts (8 cups) stock or water
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the meat and cook, without stirring, until the meat is starting to brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon, then add the onions and mushrooms and cook until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the carrots, barley and dried herbs. Add the stock or water and bring to simmer. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed. Continue to simmer until the barley is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of barley--pearled or hulled--or variety of grain you use. (If you are using cubed stew meat, you'll need to cook until the meat is tender, which may take 1 1/2 to 2 hours.)

BEEF, BARLEY AND VEGETABLE SOUP



Beef, Barley and Vegetable Soup image

The fresh vegetables give this a wonderful flavor. Very simple and can be made in the crockpot for an easy dish.

Provided by GingerSnap

Categories     Stocks

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 cups water
2 -3 tablespoons beef base
1 3/4 cups beef, cubed (about 13oz., does not include weight of bones if including)
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 celery ribs, chopped
1 large onion, chopped (or 2 small)
2 large carrots, chopped (or 3 small)
1 (14 ounce) can whole tomatoes, cut up, include sauce
1 cup frozen peas (or fresh)
1 cup barley

Steps:

  • Stovetop: Let soup base fully dissolve in water. Add all ingredients except the peas and barley. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. Add peas and barley and continue cooking 1 hour.
  • Crockpot: Cook ingredients on low overnight and/or throughout the day. Turn to high and add peas and barley for last hour.
  • I usually use stew meat or round steaks for this recipe. Less expensive cuts of meat actually have more flavor than expensive cuts do and are great in soup.
  • This is a very forgiving recipe. You can change the recipe to suit your taste, or what you have on hand. Can substitute rice or pasta for the barley, just be sure to adjust the amount and cooking times of these accordingly. You can also add, or omit, any vegetables you desire. Just make sure to include the celery, onions and carrots which is the base of the vegetable flavor in this soup. If you decide to use bullion instead of the soup base you may want to leave out the salt as it is pretty salty.
  • Bones give soup a wonderful flavor, so if you buy a cut of meat that has a bone do not discard it. Throw it in the pot and remove it before serving along with the bay leaves.
  • Bon appetit!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Sear the Beef: Searing the beef before adding it to the soup will help to develop its flavor and create a richer broth.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and parsnips.
  • Add Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices can help to add depth of flavor to your soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and black pepper.
  • Simmer for at Least 30 Minutes: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and tenderize the beef.
  • Serve with Hearty Bread or Rolls: Beef barley soup is a hearty and filling meal. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or rolls for a complete meal.
