  • Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by dicing the beef into bite-sized pieces and chopping all vegetables accordingly.
  • Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and season with salt and pepper, browning it on all sides.

  • Stir in Barley: Add the barley to the pot, stirring well to combine it with the beef and vegetables.
  • Pour in Broth: Carefully add the beef broth, ensuring everything is submerged. Stir well and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  • Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • Final Seasoning: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm, perhaps with some crusty bread on the side.
