Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast (cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 large carrots (diced)
  • 1 large yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 ribs celery (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 3 quarts chicken stock
  • 1 cup pearled barley
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1. Brown the beef: Season the beef with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat canola oil over high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. 2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add carrots, onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. 3. Simmer: Add chicken stock to the pot and scrape up any browned bits. Return beef and any reserved bones to the pot. Simmer for 1 to 2 hours until beef is tender.
  4. 4. Add barley: Discard bones if used. Stir in pearled barley and sautéed vegetables; simmer until both are tender (about 30 minutes). Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. 5. Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
