I love this recipe because it's so easy to prepare. It allows me time to play with my two children - Avery, 4, and Sarah, 2 - or work on craft projects. I usually serve it with crusty bread and a crisp green salad.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 pound beef short ribs
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
3 large carrots, sliced
3 celery ribs, sliced
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
8 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/3 cup medium pearl barley
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown ribs. Add the onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, water and bouillon; bring to a boil.
2. Cover and simmer for 2 hours or until beef is tender. Add barley; cover and simmer 50-60 minutes longer or until the barley is tender. Yield: 10-12 servings (3-1/2 quarts).
