1 Onion diced to taste
1 pkg of raw carrots cut to taste (my family prefers rounds, or sticks)
1 Bunch of Celery diced to taste
Potato's Cut to taste (my family prefers reds and cut small)
2 lb of Beef Stew meat, I cut excess fat off and larger pieces in half
1 cup of pearl dried barley
8 cups beef broth low sodium
1 tsp basil
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp white pepper (honestly regular black pepper is just fine, i ironically had it on hand)
1 package Onion Soup Mix
2 tsp oil of your choice, I prefer Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Evoo)
Turn Instant Pot on Saute
Put in EVOO and Onion, Celery, Carrots, Potato's and let them sweat
after about 10 minutes turn off and put in seasonings...stir
Mix in the meat, barley and broth
Seal lid, put valve to sealing
Select Meat/Stew or Stew/Soup 30 Minutes. If you do not have those options select manual for 30 minutes.
Once the instant pot is done do a quick release and serve.
Enjoy
