A few nights ago, during one of the blizzards, I read a post where Hoss made sa beef stew. That post got me interested in making beef stew.
The wife likes barley so I found a beef & barley stew recipe that turned out great - didn't egg it as the egg was burried but will defintely do a DO cook on the egg with this recipe.
Thought I'd share anyway...
Here are the fixin's
This was the last bowl I had for lunch today.
BGE-Dutch Oven Beef & Barley Stew
By: Diana Rattray, About.com: Southern Food
Serve this flavorful beef stew with crusty rolls or biscuits for a hearty family meal.
Ingredients:
•4 slices bacon, diced
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•1 1/2 pounds stew beef, lean, cut into small pieces
•3 tablespoons flour
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/8 teaspoon pepper
•8 ounces sliced mushrooms
•1 cup sliced celery
•1 1/2 cups chopped onion
•6 cups beef broth
•1 bay leaf
•1/3 cup pearled barley
•2 cups sliced carrot
•2 cups diced turnip
•1 large baking potato, cut in cubes
•1 cup green peas, frozen, thawed
•2 tablespoons flour blended with 2 tablespoons cold water, optional
Added by NoVA Bill: 1 teaspoon Lotties Hot Pepper Sauce
Preparation:
Cook bacon over medium-low heat in a large stockpot or Dutch oven until almost crisp.
Toss stew beef pieces with the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add to the bacon mixture. Add olive oil. Add mushrooms, celery, and onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until beef is browned and onion is tender. Add beef broth and bay leaf. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Add barley, carrots, and turnip. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Add potatoes and simmer for about 25 minutes longer, or until vegetables and meat are tender. Add peas and cook for 10 minutes longer.
If desired, stir in the flour and water mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbly.
Serves 6 to 8.

Thanks for the recipe Bill
Ross -
That looks really good. I made my wife a big batch of Italian Wedding Soup last night in anticipation of the snow here in Texas. I'm going to have to try your recipe. Still snowing too.
-
Looks beauteous Bill. :P I'll save this post for later. Tim
-
Hey Ross,
Your welcome. -
Thanks. Sorry to hear it's "still snowing". Those are fightin' words hear NoVA. :laugh:
-
Hey Tim!
Thanks. How are you guys doing weather wise? -
Looks great and can only get better on the Egg. All dug out?
-
Hey Dave,
Thanks.
All dug out but found out my road is blocked... not an issue for us but for folks farther "inland". Albeit the hill at Canby and Colonial (Old Rt. 7) doesn't have any sand on it and today's sun has made the snow slick and will turn to ice after sun down. So we're sitting tight. -
Thanks for asking and I hate to hear you having to go out in the snow and cold everyday. I guess that's what keeps you fit. Try to stay warm. Well were fine. We had a skiff of snow but now almost no snow is on the ground. 30°'s/20°'s daily so if you want to come over here we will sit around and watch the east get hammered. :pinch: Tim

Hey Hoss,
Thanks, you were my inspiration. -
Now ,you are mine,that looked "off the hook"!
-
Bill, thanks for posting. Looks very good - especially on such cold days.
Richard -
Can you post your Italian Wedding Soup recipe on here? I collect soup recipes! Thanks!
-
Thanks for the recipe! I have been looking for a Beef Barley soup recipe and can't wait to try this one. I plan to make it and bring it to work! Again, thanks!
-
Hey Bash,
Thanks. -
Tim,
Glad you guys are good. Although I can make it to the main roads I won't be able to make it back up the hill I live on (our 4X4 is at VATech with no. 2 son). At least we can get out... lots and I say lots of folks haven't been out for over a week.
Cheers,
