Receta Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup

7 votos | 7649 views

Cooking the pearl barley a long time gives this soup a nutty flavor and smooth texture. It's very different from the chewy texture you get when cooking regular barley over a shorter period. I adapted this from an America's Test Kitchen recipe and used about half the beef they called for and added the mushrooms. If you have big beef eaters in your family, you may want to double the beef. This was good enough that I had it for dinner, lunch, and then dinner again successively. A great fall or winter treat!

  1. Dry the beef with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until hot. Brown the beef on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Put browned beef into slow cooker.
  2. Add the remaining Tbsp of oil and reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and carrots and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine and quartered mushrooms and scrape off any browned bits. Simmer until the wine has reduced by half, about 1-2 minutes, then pour all contents into the slow cooker.
  3. Add the tomatoes with their juice, the broths, the thyme, and the pearl barley to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  4. Before serving, stir in the parsley or dill (we use Italian parsley), and season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Wow.. this was so yummy. I thought I was going to have leftovers for it looked like it made alot but no way...all gone. at the end of cooking I did a last stir when I thought why not add a can of beans to the mix, so I added a can of rinsed white beans. I did not have to cook any longer cause they were already soft. I'm sure it would be great with any kind of can bean that you want to add....

        Thanks for the thoughtful review and great suggestion on adding the beans. That would make it even more healthy!

        Excellent slow cooker recipe. Instead of canned diced tomatoes, I used my home made tomato sauce (which was already seasoned with basil, garlic, oregano, tarragon, thyme, parsley and black pepper).

          i am making this recipe for the second time! i made two adjustments for our tastes. the first was to substitute ale for the wine and one tablespoon of tomato paste for the tomatoes. it worked perfectly for us since we prefer the taste of the ale with the meat and the tomato paste added a smoother flavour to the soup.will be sure to follow more of your recipes. thank you.
