Add onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables have softened slightly and mushrooms have released their water, about 7 minutes. Scrape vegetables into slow cooker. Warm remaining 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in same skillet. Add beef and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes, until meat is browned on all sides (if skillet is too small, cook beef in batches, adding more oil if needed). Scrape beef into slow cooker.

Pour broth from skillet, remaining broth, carrots, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, garlic powder, barley and 1 tsp. salt into slow cooker.
