Ingredients
Instructions
-
Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function and heat some oil. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Pour in the beef broth, and make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits for added flavor.
-
Stir in the rinsed pearl barley, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
-
Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
-
Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a quick pressure release by carefully turning the valve to release the steam.
-
Open the lid carefully and give the soup a good stir. Check for seasoning and adjust with additional salt and pepper if needed.
-
Ladle the Beef and Barley Soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
