Beef Barley Soup | coming back at you with another comforting and easy to make soup for Soup Szn!

1 pound angus beef sirloin tips, cubed into 1 inch pieces 
2 tablespoons of olive oil, plus more as needed
1 sweet onion, diced
2 tablespoons balsamic 
3 garlic gloves, minced
1 large (or 2 to 3 small) carrots, diced
1 large (or 2 to 3 small) parsnips, peeled and diced
1 fennel bulb, diced 
1 bay leaf or other herbs of choice 
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 cups beef stock (can sub for chicken stock)
3/4 cup barley, rinsed
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, and drizzle with a little olive oil.  Add the cubed beef into the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned on all sides (about 10 minutes). Once cooked, remove the beef and set it aside.  Depending on the size of your pot, you may want to cook the beef in batches so they don’t steam. 

2. Add a little more olive oil to the pot and add the onion and balsamic.  Turn the heat down to low, and cook the onions for about 15 minutes, or until they’re a nice dark caramel color.

3. Once the onions are caramelized, add the garlic and red pepper flakes cook until fragrant (about 1 to 2 minutes). Then add back the beef along with the veggies, bay leaf, and stock. Turn the heat to medium-low, and cook until the vegetables and beef are tender (about 45 minutes).

4. Add the barley and then cook for about 30 minutes over a medium-low flame, or until it’s fully cooked. 

5. Once the barley is cooked, finish the soup with the fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.  Then serve with a garnish of chopped parsley.
