1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 lb (500 g) Beef Stewing Cubes, trimmed
6 cup (1.5 L) vegetables, cut in small pieces (i.e. onions, carrots, celery, rutabaga and/or potatoes)
¼ cup (50 mL) pot or pearl barley
1 can (10 oz/284 mL) beef broth
¼ tsp (1 mL) dried thyme
¼ tsp (1 mL) dillweed
¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper
