Provided by Bren

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Barley Soup Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons avocado oil, divided, or as needed
8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
1 ½ cups roughly chopped carrots
1 ½ cups roughly chopped onions
1 cup roughly chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry red wine
⅔ cup pearl barley, rinsed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon ground thyme
½ teaspoon beef bouillon base
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more to taste
6 cups no-salt-added beef broth

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.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients in Advance: Save time by chopping vegetables and measuring ingredients before starting to cook.
  • Use High-Quality Beef Broth: A flavorful broth makes a big difference in the final soup. Use a store-bought broth that you trust or make your own.
  • Brown the Beef: Browning the beef adds depth of flavor to the soup. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  • Deglaze the Pot: After browning the beef, deglaze the pot with some red wine or broth. This will help loosen any browned bits and add flavor to the soup.
  • Cook the Soup Under Pressure: Pressure cooking the soup reduces the cooking time significantly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific pressure cooker.
  • Add Vegetables in Stages: Add vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots and potatoes, to the pressure cooker first. Then, add more tender vegetables, such as peas and spinach, towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Season to Taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme. Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This pressure cooker beef barley vegetable soup is a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying meal that's perfect for a cold night.
