&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0080c3;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Ingredients: Makes 10 servings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3/4 cup pearl barley (dry)&lt;br /&gt;2 tablespoons canola oil&lt;br /&gt;6 ounces top round beef, diced small&lt;br /&gt;3 ounces yellow onion, diced small&lt;br /&gt;1 &amp;frac12; ounces diced celery&lt;br /&gt;&amp;frac14; cup carrots, diced small&lt;br /&gt;&amp;frac12; leek, diced&lt;br /&gt;1 clove garlic, chopped&lt;br /&gt;8 cups cold water&lt;br /&gt;2 ounces low sodium beef base&lt;br /&gt;1 &amp;frac12; teaspoons salt&lt;br /&gt;1 &amp;frac12; teaspoons ground black pepper&lt;br /&gt;1 bay leaf&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0080c3;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Directions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bring a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add barley, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 40-50 minutes. Pour out any excess water. Set aside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a large stockpot, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and sear until browned on all sides, 2-3 minutes. Remove beef and set aside. To the same pot, add onions, celery, carrots, leeks, and garlic. Saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add the water, beef base, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Add the beef, barley, and parsley to the pot and simmer an additional 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.&lt;/p&gt;
