400 g beef, top sirloin, cut into strips of about 1 x 5 cm
2 tbsp olive oil 30 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1 shallots, finely chopped 40 g

Before you start

You will need a wok or frying pan.

Put the serving dish in the oven at the lowest setting to keep the meat warm while the vegetables cook.

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables : Cut the peppers into 1 cm-wide strips; slice the zucchini into thin rounds; quarter the mushrooms; halve the onion then cut it into 1 cm wedges; mince the garlic; dice the tomatoes. Cut the meat into strips, 1 cm wide and about 5 cm long.
  2. Heat half of the olive oil in a large frying-pan or wok over medium-high heat. Sauté the meat in batches, so as not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the meat until it browns, but is not completely cooked through, 3-4 min total. Remove the meat from the pan then set aside on the warmed serving plate in the oven.
  3. Pour the remaining olive oil into the pan, then add the onion and sauté 2 min until it starts to soften. Add the peppers and continue to cook, tossing often, until they begin to brown and soften, about 5 min. Add the zucchini and mushrooms, then sauté, with frequent tossing, about 3 min. Add the garlic and tomatoes. Cook 1-2 min, with stirring, then season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook an additional 2 min until the vegetables are cooked al dente.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot, sprinkle with salt, then sauté until the shallot begins to soften, about 3 min.
  5. Add the barley, then cook 3 min with constant stirring. Pour in the broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to 'low' and cover. Cook until the barley is al dente, about 30 min.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir once, cover and let stand 5 min. Adjust the seasoning.
  7. Put the meat back into the pan with the vegetables. Cook, with tossing, about 1-2 min. Adjust the seasoning then serve with the barley.
