Beef Pepper and Mushroom Barley

It seems some people are turned off by barley because they think it's only good in soup, but that is not the only way to prepare it (in fact I have yet to try barley soup). I tried Barley for the first time only a couple years ago and quickly became a favorite in my home, I really liked the nutty taste to it and that it was a great alternative to rice. The first recipe I tried, a light Mushroom barley, was so good that every time I cooked it I experimented with it and have found it to be very versatile and easy to work with. (I have several barley recipes to share with you and will add them in the coming weeks and months.) In fact this recipe is a result of every time I cooked barley my husband and I would start thinking of what else to add to it, first it was the beef and then the peppers and so on.

  1. In a large pot prepare the barley by cooking it in water, follow the instructions on the bag, usually it's 2 cups of water for 1 cup of barley. Should take about 30-45 minutes, in the mean time prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Slice the beef into thin slices , and chop and slice the onion, garlic, mushrooms and peppers. In a large pot heat the oil then add the beef cook for about 8 minutes or until the beef has browned. Next add the vegetables cook for 5 minutes, then add the bouillon and spices. Simmer for about 25 minutes or until meat is soft and vegetable cooked through.(The peppers can become very soft or mushy, if you don't like this you can add the peppers later to cook to the texture you desire.) Most of the broth will have cooked off and there should only be a little bit let, you will use it to mix with the barley.
  3. Next add the cooked barley to the beef mixture and combine all the ingredients well. Taste for salt and pepper, you also want the barley to be well coated with the paprika to give it a slight red color, so if need to add a little more paprika. Continue to cook under low heat for another 5-10 minutes to get the ingredients well combined and until all of the liquid has dissolved.
