Jackal'd Barley and Steak Stew step by step

You will need AT LEAST a 6 quart slow cooker!! Should have mentioned that earlier....
After that, start by sautéing the onions, garlic, and mushrooms lightly. Only enough to give them a nice color. Salt and pepper them as well..
After sautéing to what you consider a nice color, dump the ingredients into your slow cooker..
Now, in the same skillet, comes the meat. You're aiming for a good sear, nothing more. nothing less. (don't worry, the crock pot will get it out of the bacteria DANGER ZONE! quickly enough.).
Add Everything else in your slow/crock/cooker/pot, stir (like a boss) until the beef bouillon is dissolved..
Put the lid on and set your crock to high for 3-4 hours, then low for the remainder of 4 hours..
Now, of course you're gonna take the lid of every now and then to smell it, I don't blame you!! BUT!! And this is a Kardashian sized but, stir it since you're there. #1 rule of slow cooking is not to take the lid off, I'm not a nazi!! But ya gotta stir it to get it back up and running again..
When the 7 hour mark hits, sample and adjust salt to taste, I actually just liquefied a few more bouillon and add it (I'm also not scurred of a lil MSG!) If done adjustment is needed, put the lid back on and give it 30 more mins for the flavors to spread out..
After that its ready! Find you an awesome side to go with it, Kiasfolly got a few good ones if ya don't mind checking her out! (think really hard about that tater salad or the caesar dressing...).
At the end don't let anything go to waste!! freeze it, take it to the neighbors, hobos, whatever!! But please don't waste your food! Jackal out!.
