You can use Beef Simmering Steak instead of Stewing Cubes in this recipe, if you like. Trim the steak and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
- 1 lb (500 g) Beef Stewing Cubes, trimmed (Plate or Chuck)
- 6 cup(s) (1.5 L) vegetables, cut in small pieces (i.e. onions, carrots, celery, rutabaga and/or potatoes)
- ¼ cup(s) (50 mL) pot or pearl barley
- 1 can (10 oz/284 mL) beef broth
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) EACH dried thyme, dillweed and pepper
- 1 bay leaf
Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat; brown beef cubes. Stire in vegetables, barley, broth, thyme, dillweed, pepper and bay leaf.
Add 4 cups (1 L) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook for about 2 hours or until beef and barley are tender.
Discard bay leaf before serving.
