Irish Beef and Barley Stew
Barley is a good source of both fill-you-up fast complex carbs (fibre, selenium) and minerals (phosphorus, copper and manganese).
Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb (450 g) diced stewing beef
1 tsp Minced Garlic
1 tbsp Toasted Onion
2 large carrots, roughly chopped
6 cups broth of your choice, prepared
1⁄3 cup quick cooking barley
1⁄2 lb (225 g) small potatoes, quartered
1 tbsp Rosemary Garlic Seasoning
Sea Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
Preparation
Heat Multipurpose Pot to medium. Add vegetable oil and brown beef on all sides. Stir in Minced Garlic, Toasted Onion and carrots, cooking until aromatic.
Add Broth and barley. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook until beef is almost tender, about 1 hour.
Add potatoes and continue to cook until beef and potatoes are tender, 20–30 more minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle with Rosemary Garlic Seasoning and season with Salt and Pepper.
