Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the beef with salt and pepper and brown in 2 tbsp oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the mushrooms and dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook in the same pot until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in minced garlic and thyme for 1 minute, then return the beef with the beef stock, Worcestershire, and bay leaves.

  4. 4

    Cover and simmer on low for 35 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the barley and simmer, partly covered, until the barley is tender and the beef shreds easily, about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Discard the bay leaves, season to taste, and serve steaming hot.
