Ingredients

1-1/2 lbs. lean chuck, cut into chunks

1-2 large onions, chopped

1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp. cup pearl barley

1/4 cup navy/pinto beans, soaked in cold water overnight

4 carrots, peeled and diced but not small

2 parsnips, peeled and diced, not small

1 16-ounce can stewed tomatoes

4 cloves garlic, minced or chopped finely

1-1/2 tsp. Vegeta seasoning

1 packet or cube of beef boullion or use 1 can of low sodium beef broth

1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped

Note: My Mother-in-law always used the dried mushrooms from a Polish/Euro deli. She soaked them for 3 hours and sieved them from the liquid they were soaking in. If you can't find these, a flavourful mushroom should be used - not button mushrooms.

2-3 large potatoes, peeled and diced

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley to garnish and a crusty loaf of bread to go along with it.

Directions

Place the meat, onion, barley, beans, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes and garlic in a crockpot and add water and beef cube or beef broth to cover by 3 inches.

Cover and cook on low overnight.

Note: When I use my crockpot, I often place a folded tea towel over the top to prevent any vapor from escaping. I have been surprised to see how this method speeds up the cooking process.

In the morning add the mushrooms and potatoes and cook on low for an additional 8-10 hours, until meat is fork tender and barley and beans are cooked thoroughly.

Season to taste.

Makes 8 - 10 servings.

Made this and it was great - used shitake mushrooms and the flavour was quite strong so maybe I'll try something milder next time.
