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
6 ounces oyster mushrooms (cut into small bouquets)
1/2 pound shiitakes, stemmed
3 to 3 1/2 ounces enokis
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup barley, cooked in stock
Mustard-Horseradish Sauce, recipe follows
1 serrano or jalapeno
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Simmer dried mushrooms in water for 15 minutes. Let sit for 1/2 hour, then drain through coffee filter or fine mesh sieve, squeezing juice from mushrooms. Reserve the liquid.
  • 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. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Return the short ribs to the pan and add the mushroom reconstituting water.
  • On low flame, cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, occasionally re-positioning the ribs for even cooking until very tender.
  • Remove the ribs and strain the stock. Skim off most of the fat (you can do this by cooling it down, then setting it in the refrigerator). Bring stock to slow boil in the pan. Add all the mushrooms and meat. Simmer and heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, put soup into bowls. Place 2 ribs in center, scoop of barley to the side, and mushrooms around. Serve with Mustard-Horseradish Sauce.
  • Remove ribs and seeds from the chile and mince. Mix into horseradish and mustard.

Skim any fat from the surface of the soup with a ladle or large spoon. Return the meat to the soup with the parsley. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in warm bowls.

BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP



Beef Mushroom Barley Soup image

Family favorite. It kind of turns into a type of stew as the barley soaks up much of the beef stock. Best part is that it gets better with age, so make plenty and enjoy throughout the week! It's always better the second day, so you might want to cook it one day, refrigerate it overnight, and then cook it again the next day.

MUSHROOM AND BARLEY SOUP

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield 1 1/2 to 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 to 2 1/2 pieces first-cut beef flanken
Salt
1 1/2 to 2 quarts water
1 carrot, scraped and cut in half vertically
1 stalk celery with leaves
1 small onion, peeled
2-inch pieces of parsnip and/or petrouchka
1 root of Italian parsley, if available
1/2 small knob celery, peeled, if available
2 or 3 sprigs parsley
3 dried Polish mushroom caps, soaked
20 minutes in hot water
2 tablespoons well-washed medium pearl barley
White pepper to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill and 2 large or 4 small old potatoes, peeled, cut in half if large, and boiled for garnishes

Steps:

  • Place the meat and a pinch of salt in a 3-to-4-quart soup pot. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil, skim the foam from the surface, cover, reduce the heat and simmer gently for one hour.
  • Add the carrot, celery, onion, parsnip and/or parsley root, knob celery and parsley sprigs.
  • Remove the dried mushroom caps from their soaking liquid and chop coarsely. Add to the soup. If the soaking liquid is not sandy, add it to the soup.
  • Simmer for one hour, then add the barley. Simmer for 30 minutes to one hour more, or until the meat is very tender. If the soup thickens too much add a little boiling water as needed.
  • Remove the meat, trim off the fat and cut in chunks or spoonsize pieces. Return to the pot. Vegetables can be diced and returned to soup or eliminated, as you prefer.
  • Skim the fat from the surface of the soup. Season to taste and sprinkle in the dill if desired. Serve each portion of soup and meat with half a large (or 1 small) boiled potato.

Tips:

  • To clean wild mushrooms: Use a soft brush to gently remove any dirt or debris. If the mushrooms are very dirty, you can rinse them quickly under cold water, but be careful not to soak them.
  • To prepare barley: Rinse the barley in cold water and then drain it. Add the barley to a pot of boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Once the barley is cooked, drain it and set it aside.
  • To brown flanken beef short ribs: Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides. Remove the ribs from the pot and set them aside.
  • To make the soup: Heat the olive oil in the same pot that you used to brown the ribs. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook until they are softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • To add flavor: Add the white wine and cook until it is reduced by half. Add the beef broth, tomatoes, barley, and wild mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • To serve: Return the flanken beef short ribs to the pot and heat through. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
