| Ingredients: |
Cooking spray
1 pound boneless chuck roast, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces

| Directions: |
Heat a flying pan oven over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add beef to pan; cook 4 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently. Move beef to cooking pot. Add carrot, celery, onion, and mushrooms to fly pan; cook 6 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Add to beef; fat-free, less-sodium beef broth; and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until beef is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in barley; cover and simmer 30 minutes or until pearl barley is tender. Stir in salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf.
