Barley Burger Stew For 2 Recipes

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and black pepper; coat with flour, shaking off excess.
• Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot; cook and stir beef until browned on all sides. Remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add onion, cabbage, celery, carrots, and garlic; cook and stir until carrots are softened and onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, and barley. Return beef to Dutch oven and continue to cook and stir for 3 minutes.
• Stir water, beer, and beef bouillon into beef mixture; bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until beef and barley are tender, about 90 minutes. Add brown sugar and vinegar. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Pulse half of cooked barley in a food processor until mashed. Transfer to a bowl with beef, carrots, ginger, remaining barley, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine (do not overmix). Divide into 4 portions; form into 4 1/2-inch round patties.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add patties in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total. (If necessary, cook in two batches.)

• Stir in the carrots, barley and dried herbs. Add the stock or water and bring to simmer. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed. Continue to simmer until the barley is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of barley--pearled or hulled--or variety of grain you use.
