    Serves

  • 1 kg beef chuck steak, cut into 3 cm pieces
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 2 onions, halved, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, chopped
  • 2 bacon rashers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 500 mL Continental Superb Stock Beef
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1/2 cup pearled barley
  • steamed green beans, to serve
  • couscous, to serve

  1. Place beef into a large bowl. Sprinkle over flour, toss to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large flameproof heavy based casserole dish or saucepan over medium high heat. Cook a third of the beef, for 5 minutes, turning occasionally or until beef is browned on all sides. Transfer beef to a bowl. Repeat with a little more oil and remaining beef.

  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery and bacon, and cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Return beef back to pan. Stir in tomato paste, Stock and orange juice. Bring to the boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  3. Meanwhile place barley in a bowl, cover with cold water and set aside to allow to soak, while stew is cooking.

  4. Drain barley, then stir into the beef stew. Continue to cook, covered for 30 - 40 minutes, stirring occasionally until beef is tender and barley is cooked. Serve with steamed green beans and couscous.
