Rice Cooker Beef & Barley Stew

I'm a huge fan of cooking one-pot stews because they are easy to cook, nutritious, and most importantly, a family favorite.

Rice cooker beef & barley stew is a hearty dish packed with beef chunks, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and chewy barley.

Here's a compilation of recipes for the dishes I cooked using my Philips Avance Collection Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker. This is not an affiliate or promotional link.

Ingredients:
(Serves 2 adults & 2 children under 10)

500g stewing beef (2" cubes)

2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons cooking oil
2 medium yellow onions, quartered
5 small potatoes, quartered
2 medium carrots, cut into 2" chunks
1 can stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup barley, rinsed
4 cups beef stock
Salt, to taste

How to:

1. Rub beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Coat evenly with flour.

2. Heat up cooking oil over medium heat in a pot and brown the beef.

3. Remove beef from heat and set aside. Add in onions and stir fry till fragrant.

4. Add in potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, barley, and beef stock.

5. Bring to a boil and transfer to a multifunction cooker. In this case, I use my trusted smart rice cooker.

6. Choose the "Soup" setting and let it cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

7. Serve hot with your choice of carbs. We have homemade bread by my sister-in-law.
