Pearl barley works perfectly with a beef stew. Beef shoulder or shanks can be used in preparation of the stew, and should be browned before adding other ingredients and liquids for better flavor. Timing is important. Be sure to rinse the pearl barley under cold water before cooking. Although barley may appear to be a strong little grain, it can be overcooked, and this will ruin the perfect texture, so add the barley and tomatoes during the last 45 minutes of cooking.
