Courtesy of our local grocery store, this recipe was featured in their magazine as a “seasonal” recipe.  What sets it apart from other beef and barley soup recipes is the use of Irish beer. Well…I don’t have any Irish beer in my refrigerator but I do have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which is what I used as a substitute.  I also added spicy sausage (which made my husband very happy) and few kernels of sweet peas.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb beef sirloin or round steak, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 4 cups beef broth (or water)
  • 1 cup Irish beer (or any beer)
  • 2 pieces hot links sausages cut into bite size pieces
  • 1/4 cup barley, washed and drained
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup sweet peas

Directions:

  1. Melt butter in saucepan. Add beef and cook over medium heat until brown on all sides.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 1 1/2 hours.
  4. Serve with warm bread.

Beef stew is one of my favorite comfort foods. My grandma made this for me and my sibs when we were growing up, and it’s the one meat dish that I always looked forward to. I’m so excited to see your jazzed up beef soup. It looks absolutely divine, and I just can’t wait to taste the memories when I make your soup!

I saw the beer in the ingredients list and knew this was a keeper! Definitely a hearty meal for cold days (and I need it – snow forecasted for this weekend here in MN).

Terrific ! I was attracted by barley.. given the recipe calls for beer, that makes me even more convinced to give it a try..

Thanks for sharing the recipe..
