Quantity Ingredient
½ pounds Beef stew meat; 1/2-inch cubes
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Water
1 cup Thinly diced carrot
1 cup Chopped shallots
1 Clove garlic; minced

1 teaspoon Dried rosemary; crushed
14½ ounce Diced tomatoes; canned; with liquid
1 Bay leaf
2½ cup Water

Directions

Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper; dredge in flour. Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Add beef; cook 4 minutes, browning meat on all sides. Remove from pot.

Reduce heat under pot to medium; stir in worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons water. Cook 1 minute, scraping pot to loosen browned bits. Add carrot, shallots, garlic, and mushrooms; saute 3 minutes.

Return beef to pot; stir in broth, rosemary, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until beef is tender. Discard bay leaf.

Add 2½ cups water, barley, and artichokes. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until barley is tender. Serves 6.
