Time 2h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon good olive oil
2 pounds beef oxtails
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)
2 cups (1/2-inch) diced carrots (4 carrots)
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup (1/2-inch) diced celery (2 stalks)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
3 bay leaves
10 cups canned beef broth
1 cup pearled barley

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Add the oxtails, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until browned all over. Remove the oxtails with a slotted spoon and reserve.
  • Add the leeks, carrots, onion, celery, and garlic to the fat in the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until the vegetables start to brown. Tie the thyme sprigs together with kitchen string and add to the pot along with the bay leaves. Return the oxtails to the pot and add the broth, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Discard the thyme bundle and the bay leaves, and skim off the fat.
  • Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the barley. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, drain, and set aside.
  • When the soup is ready, add the barley and cook the soup for another 15 or 20 minutes, until the barley is tender. Depending on the saltiness of the stock, the soup might need another teaspoon of salt and some pepper. Serve hot, with or without the oxtails.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
3 quarts water
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 pounds short ribs or flanken
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed braising pan or Dutch oven, heat the oil to very hot. In batches, brown the short ribs. Remove them to a side platter. Add the onions and cook until lightly colored.

GRANDMA'S FLANKEN, BARLEY, AND VEGETABLE SOUP RECIPE



Grandma's Flanken, Barley, and Vegetable Soup Recipe image

Provided by marlabeth19

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lbs. beef flanken (beef short ribs)
1 lb. beef marrow bones
2 quarts beef stock
3 large yellow onions, chopped fine
2 soup carrots, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch chunks
2 parsnips, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch chunks
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch chunks
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch chunks
1/2 lb. green beans, cut in 1-inch pieces
1/2 lb. white button mushrooms
1 bag frozen peas
1 bunch curly parsley
1 bunch dill
2 bay leaves
1 c. dried lima beans
1 c. dried green peas
1 c. dried yellow peas
1 c. dried barley
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put beef ribs and marrow bones into a heavy soup pot and add cold water until the meat is just covered. Bring to a boil. Skim off the foam from the top of water. Prepare bouquet garni of dill, parsley, and bay leaves. Add vegetables (except peas), dried ingredients, bouquet garni, and stock. Simmer for 60 minutes. Add peas and simmer for another 15 minutes. Remove bouquet garni. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, and green beans.
  • If you don't have flanken, you can substitute another type of beef stew meat, such as chuck roast or short ribs.
  • Brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until they are softened. This will help to release their flavor into the soup.
  • Add the barley and cook until it is tender. This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
