Directions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately-high heat in a 6 to 8-quart pressure cooker pot. Toss beef with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, then brown meat in 3 batches until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer beef as cooked, to a plate with a slotted spoon.
-
Heat remaining tablespoon oil and cook, stirring, onions, celery carrots and garlic with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until pale golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, water, broth, barley, beef and bay leaf. Cover pot and bring to high pressure and reduce heat to maintain pressure, then cook until beef is tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to the sink and run cold water on the pot to quick-release the pressure. Stir in parsley and add salt to taste.
