Method
Preparation
- Pat the beef cubes dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, celery salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then toss in flour.
Sautéing
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same pot, then add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, approximately 5-7 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, cooking for a few more minutes until fragrant.
Building Flavor
- Stir in tomato paste, grape juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Add thyme, oregano, and parsley, stirring to combine.
- Return the beef to the pot with beef broth, chicken broth, bouillon cube, bay leaf, potatoes, and barley. Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat to low, simmering for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is tender.
Notes
Serve garnished with fresh parsley. Pairs well with crusty bread or a light salad. For extra warmth, consider adding chili flakes.
