Ingredients

– 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 2 celery stalks, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Creating the delicious Pioneer Woman Beef Barley Soup is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prep Ingredients: Begin by chopping all the vegetables and cutting the beef into cubes.
2. Sear the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the beef is browned, add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
4. Stir in Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Add Broth and Barley: Pour in the beef broth and add the pearl barley, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir well to combine.
6. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes or until the barley and beef are tender.
7. Finish and Adjust Seasoning: After the cooking time, taste the soup. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
8. Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness before serving.

By following these easy steps, you’ll have a delectable bowl of Pioneer Woman Beef Barley Soup ready in no time.
