Ingredients

  • 1 pound filet mignon, chopped into bite size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 beef bouillon gel pack
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 4 Campari tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced

  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup medium pearl barley

Instructions

  • In a large stock pot, sauté the beef in the olive oil for 5 minutes. Set the meat aside.
  • Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrots to the pot and sauté until tender about 5-7 minutes. Next, add the mushrooms and thyme until the mushrooms render their juice and begin to brown.
