📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pat beef dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering.
2
Add the beef and let cook, without stirring, until brown on one side, about 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Stir beef and continue cooking until brown all over, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes longer. Transfer beef to the slow cooker, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
3
Add onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the saucepan and sauté until the vegetables have softened and the mushrooms have released most of their liquid, about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme until fragrant, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add to the slow cooker.
4
Add beef broth, chicken broth, water, barley, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to ⏱️ 4 hours or LOW for 7 to ⏱️ 8 hours. Remove bay leaf and season to taste with salt and pepper.
