Hearty Beef, Potato and Barley Stew
Bring a carton of beef stock with 1/2 cup barley to a boil. Cover and reduce temperature to keep at a high simmer until barley is tender. Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with a few tablespoons cold water and stir into stock. Cut leftover steak and potatoes into bite-sized pieces and add to stock. Add 1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables and simmer until warm. Serve with toasted whole-wheat baguette and a mixed salad.
