- Sear the beef: For an added depth of flavor, sear the beef in a hot skillet with a little olive oil before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Cut veggies evenly: Ensure that the onion and carrots are cut into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- Check barley: Pearl barley takes time to cook, but if you find it too firm for your taste, you can pre-cook it for 15 minutes before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the stew before serving and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Sometimes slow-cooked dishes may need a little extra salt or spices toward the end of cooking.
- Serving suggestion: Serve the stew with a side of couscous or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Storage: This stew stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It also freezes well for up to 3 months, making it a great option for meal prep.
