Beef Barley Crockpot
2 lbs beef chuck cut into chunks
1/2 lbs carrots diced
3 celery diced
1/2 large yellow onion chopped
2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 cup pearled barley
7 cups beef broth
I bag of small potatoes 24 oz cut in half if large
Add everything but the potatoes to the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours
The last 45 minutes add potatoes.
If broth too thin add 1 TBLS corn starch to 1 TBLS cold water the last 30 mins of cooking.
I did not thicken my broth the last 2 times I made it. It was fine.
