Ingredients
Method
1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the stew meat on all sides until a golden crust forms, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
2
Remove the browned meat and set aside, then add the chopped onions to the same pot and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4 minutes
3
Return the meat to the pot and pour in enough water to cover the ingredients by about 2 inches, then bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
2 minutes
4
Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 30 minutes to allow the meat to begin tenderizing.

Add the barley, carrots, celery, turnip (or potatoes), oregano, and soy sauce to the pot and stir well to combine.

Continue simmering uncovered for another 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender and the vegetables are fully cooked through.

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, keeping in mind that the soy sauce has already added saltiness.
