Gendry's Bowl O' Brown Inspired By Game of Thrones
A hearty beef and barley stew inspired by the streets of Flea Bottom in Game of Thrones, perfect for warming up on a cold day.
Ingredients
- 16 oz beef cut into chunks or strips
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup barley
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 potatoes any kind, cut into chunks
- 2 carrots slices 1/2 inch thick
- 1 white onion chopped roughly
- 3 tbsp garlic minced
- ½ cup celery roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp marjoram
- 2 tbsp summer savory
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, add one tablespoon of butter, and then sear the beef strips for two minutes, until browned but not cooked through. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- Add the potatoes, onions, and carrots to the pot with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Sauté until the potato begins to brown and the onion has softened. Add the celery and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the celery has brightened in color and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pot and set aside.
- Pour the wine into the pot and scrape up any browned bits. When the liquid has mostly evaporated, add the broth to the pot. Bring to a rolling simmer, then add the vegetables and meat back to the pot along with the marjoram, summer savory, and bay leaves. Stir in the barley and bring to a boil for one minute.
- Reduce the heat to just barely a simmer, cover the pot, and let stew for at least forty minutes to an hour. When the barley is puffed up and softened, ladle the stew into wooden bowls and serve. Enjoy alongside a ration of crusty bread.
