Instructions

1. Let’s prepare the necessary ingredients. Wash the pearl barley well, fill it with water and leave it for 4-5 hours.
2. The pearl barley has already swollen perfectly. Put it in a saucepan, fill it with clean water and cook. I cooked the barley for 40 minutes from the moment it boiled.
3. Cut the beef into small pieces.
4. Preheat a frying pan with vegetable oil, put the meat. Fry the beef on maximum heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula. The meat will juice abundantly almost immediately.
5. Cut the onion into thin rings.
6. Add the onion to the meat, continue to fry everything together.
7. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
8. Add carrots to meat and onions, fry for another 10 minutes.
9. Fill the meat and vegetables with water almost to the very top. Salt and pepper. Leave the beef stew under the closed lid until soft. Let’s turn down the fire almost to the very minimum. Timing will depend on how young the beef is used. I stewed the meat for 20 minutes.

   

10. When the beef is tender, add the cooked barley. Mix everything actively with a spoon.

    

11. The dish is ready. Put the barley with beef on plates and serve.
