Slow Cooker Beef & Barley

  • Nutritional fact- Pearl Barley contains more dietary fibre than brown rice


Directions
Step 1

Heat a little of the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes in batches and sear until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 2

Add remaining oil to pan and cook onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until tender.

Step 3

Pour the beef stock and water into the bowl of the slow cooker. Add barley, carrots, celery, onion mixture, beef cubes and thyme sprigs. Cook on low setting for 8 hours. Season to taste, fold in parsley and accompany with some crusty bread and green beans.
