Instructions

1. Heat a large heavy pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
2. Pat the beef dry and season all sides with salt and pepper. Sear in batches until well browned on all sides, without crowding the pot.
3. Set the beef aside. Add the onion, celery and carrots to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Add the red wine, raise the heat to high and reduce by half (about 2 minutes), scraping the bottom of the pot to lift the browned bits.
5. Return the beef to the pot with the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes with the lid partly covered.
6. Add the barley and simmer until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes, tasting as you go.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, thin it with water or extra low-sodium beef broth. Stir in the parsley before serving.
