Ingredients​

  2. 2 teaspoons olive oil
  3. 1 large onion chopped
  4. 1 stick diced celery
  5. 3 diced Roma tomatoes
  6. 1 diced sweet potato
  7. 1 diced white potato with skin
  8. 150g diced mushrooms
  9. 1 large diced carrot
  10. 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
  11. 1 small bunch of kale chopped
  12. 1/4 cup uncooked barley
  13. 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  14. 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  15. 3 cups low salt beef stock
  16. 1 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
  17. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  18. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  19. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  20. 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed with fingers

Directions​

1. Trim fat and gristle from steak. Grill or fry steak 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. Don't overcook. Remove from heat and let rest while preparing vegetables.

2. In a large pot, saute vegetables in oil over medium-high heat until lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Add barley and cook an additional 5 minutes.

3. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Cut into half-inch pieces and add to pot. Then add vinegars, stock, herbs and spices.

4. Bring to a boil and simmer 1 hour, until barley is cooked and stew has thickened considerably.

Serve with steamed vegetables and rice
