The Ultimate Beef Barley Soup (better Than Grandma’s!)
  1. Sear: Brown the beef cubes in olive oil in a large pot. Remove and set aside.

  2. Sauté: Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until soft, then stir in garlic and tomato paste for 2 minutes.

  3. Deglaze: Pour in balsamic vinegar and 1 cup of broth, scraping up the flavorful browned bits.

  4. Simmer: Add remaining broth, beef, barley, and herbs. Cover and simmer on low for 90 minutes until the beef is tender.

  5. Finish: Remove bay leaves and adjust salt/pepper to taste.
