Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil and brown beef pieces on all sides and then add onion, cooking over medium-high heat until translucent. Add the barley, broth and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Add carrots and mushrooms and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 25 minutes or until meat and carrots are tender. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and add parsley just before serving.
