Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, stems trimmed and caps halved 2 shallots, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Coarse salt and ground pepper 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water 1/2 cup quick-cooking barley Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet, toss together steak, mushrooms, shallots, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer and roast until beef and mushrooms are browned, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a medium pot and add broth and barley. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat and simmer until barley is soft, about 12 minutes. To serve, season to taste with salt and pepper and top with parsley, if desired.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/30/2015   I love this but would change two things. First, use beef broth. Why would you want beef soup to taste like chicken? Second, only roast the meat and mushrooms for 20 minutes. Any longer will just dry it out. Also, make sure to pour all the roasting pan juices into the pot and then deglaze the pan with some hot broth and pour that in the pot as well. I also agree with others that more olive oil is needed.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/18/2014   I agree that this soup/stew had a hearty flavor with surprisingly few ingredients, it was incredibly easy to make and was just so delicious. It created a truly satisfying meal that it will be added to our regular list I'm very happy to say. I loved it and I'm already dreaming of eating the left overs. For the readers who commented it was dry, I used liberal amounts of olive oil and had no problem. One just has to use more, the recipe is too stingy with it. Man, I loved this soup.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/05/2013   This soup is delicious. I've made it a number of times and it's so easy. I agree with one of the other reviewers, so few ingredients for so much flavor! Give it a try.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/05/2013   Fabulous and easy! My family loved it, including my eight year old and my not-too-big-on-meat sixteen year old. I added half a bay leaf and 1/2 tsp. of dried thyme while simmering. This is now a family favorite!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/11/2012   This has an amazing amount of flavor for so few ingredients. We used pearled barley and loved it! It will be a great base for lots of variations, and is one of our new favourites, though in the future I'll be cutting the ingredients into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/28/2012   My husband doesn't like barley so I exchanged it with a package of Long grain rice & wild rice minus the seasoning mix and used beef tenderloin . it is fabulous.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/22/2011   Good flavor, but the meat turns out like shoe leather.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       10/15/2011   Pretty great! I couldn't find quick cooking barley so I used regular, cooking it seperately and added more than the receipe asked for...it was great! And so easy to prepare.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/02/2011   My family loved this soup! I doubled it for the four of us and the kids had enough for a bowl each for lunch today.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/17/2011   This is delish but has anyone else had the problem of the meat getting a little dry?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/02/2010   With just 2 people, I had leftovers that I modified by adding corn one time and lentils another day: it is the most requested soup by my husband and so rich in flavor and easy to prepare. I am going to make it today and add some leftover roasted potatos from our Roast Chicken and vegetable Sunday dinner. YUM!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/24/2010   Great soup recipe........my 15 month old grand daughter loved it.......couldn't get enough of it. I substituted datalini pasta for the barley. Will make it over and over..it was sooo easy!!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/20/2010   Where's the recipe for the salad that's supposed to accompany this soup?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/19/2010   Fabulous! Doubled the recipe for our family Pie Making Day (for our lunch break) and it was a huge hit! Everyone wanted the recipe. So quick and easy. Perfect for any occasion. We will be making this again!
