Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter I used salted butter but you could use unsalted
  • ½ cup chopped onions about a medium size onion
  • 1 pound beef stew meat
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 cup sliced carrots about 3 medium sizes
  • 1 cup sliced celery about 4 celery stalks
  • ½ cup Quick Pearled Barley
  • 5 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Prep: Start by dicing the onion into small chunks, they will cook down so they don't have to be minced. Also chop the carrots and celery sticks into bite size pieces. After that, cut the beef into bite sized cubes.
  • Sauté ingredients: Get a Dutch oven or cast iron pan heating over medium heat and melt the butter. Once heated, add in the chopped onions and stir to coat. Cook until soft and translucent.
  • Then add in the cubed beef stew meat, celery seeds, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir together until the meat is browned. This should take about 4-5minutes over medium-high heat. Next, mix in the carrots and celery. Then add in the barley and stir again until well mixed.
  • Add liquids: Now, add the beef broth and the water to the pan, bring to a boil and mix well. Cover the Dutch oven, reduce the heat and bring it down to a simmer. Allow the soup to cook for 1 hour, mixing every 10-15 minutes to prevent sticking. Serve and enjoy!
