  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds beef chuck (roast, or stewing beef, cut into small pieces)
  • 6 ounces mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 rib celery, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 small leek (white and light green parts only), well rinsed and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 cups dried barley
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Water
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oil in a large skillet and add beef, cooking until it is well browned.

  • Step 2: While beef is browning, place all ingredients except water, salt and pepper into the bottom of a 3 qt crock pot.

  • Step 3: Add enough water to cover, and stir gently until tomato paste is mixed in.

  • Step 4: Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

  • Step 5: Add beef to crockpot (adding it last helps keep the veggies down in the water.)

  • Step 6: Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until carrots and barley are tender.
