Wardy's Bow-Valley Beef Barley
This is one of our favorite recipes for leftover roast beef - and its delicious on a cold winter night ~ or over a campfire at the lake by the cabin with family and friends!
If you don't have leftover beef, substitute with 1-2 cups of extra-lean ground beef from your local market. Pan fry beef leftovers or hamburger with butter until cooked throughly; you can add a couple coarsely chopped celery stalks, 1 minced garlic clove, and fine diced onions while cooking. Cook until the onion is translucent and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Bring 8 cups of cold water to a boil, add this bag of special spices and ingredients; add your cooked beef & veggies. Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
When ready, discard bay leaves. ~ENJOY
Salt and ground pepper to taste.
