Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the seasoned salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Add beef and toss to coat. In a large skillet, brown beef in oil until meat is no longer pink; drain., Transfer to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Add the water, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and bouillon. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until meat and vegetables are almost tender., Add the corn, tomatoes, peas, tomato juice, barley, salt and pepper; cover and cook 2 hours longer or until barley is tender.

Steps:

• Brown the beef in the pressure cooker.
• Drain off any fat.
• Add the tomatoes, water and barley.
• Close pressure cooker and bring up to full pressure.
• Reduce heat to stabilize and cook for 10 minutes While the soup is cooking, split the carrots in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/2" thick slices.
• Peel and dice the potato.
• Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
• When the soup has cooked for 10 minutes, realease pressure and add the vegetables, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, salt and pepper to taste.
• Close pressure cooker and bring up to full pressure.
• Reduce the heat until pressure is stabilized and cook and cook 10 minutes longer.
• Release the pressure.
• The soup can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen.

Steps:

• Generously season beef with salt and pepper.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil and tilt the pot to distribute the oil evenly. Once oil shimmers, add 1/2 the beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer browned beef to a bowl and repeat with remaining beef.
• Heat another tablespoon oil in the Instant Pot®; when oil shimmers, add mushrooms. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until slightly brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms to the bowl with the beef. Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil to the pot and cook carrots, onions, and celery until onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until wine has almost evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Return browned beef and mushrooms to the pot. Stir in barley, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, bouillon base, red pepper flakes, and beef broth. Stir until well combined.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove and discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt.

Steps:

• In 5 or 6 quart pressure cooker brown beef on all sides in oil.
• Stir in all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes.
• Lock lid on pressure cooker and cook on high until the weight begins to "jiggle".
• Lower heat to a slow consistent "jiggle" and cook for 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let pressure release conventionally.
• Stir in tomatoes and return to stove and simmer an additional 5-10 minutes.
• I used a 5 qt pressure cooker at 12 pounds of pressure for this recipe.
