📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.

3. In batches, brown the beef cubes on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside.

4. In the same pot, add diced onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

5. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Stir in the sliced carrots, celery, and mushrooms, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.

7. Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes.

8. Add beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaf. Stir to combine.

9. Return the browned beef to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

10. Add pearl barley to the stew and continue simmering for another 30-40 minutes, or until the barley is cooked and tender.

11. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

12. Remove the bay leaf and garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy hot with crusty bread on the side!
