Cooking--Beef-Barley

Gave beef soup another shot last night, using a simple recipe I found on cooks.com.  Stew beef, soup bones, barley, carrots, onions, tomatoes.   I enhanced it with a leek, mushrooms, and some broccoli which was getting well past its prime.  Very full beef flavor in the broth, though a lot of fat rose to the top that I had to skim off.  A gravy separator helped a lot with this. 

I feel confident now with cooking a beef vegetable. Next project--black bean.
