Editor's Note:
To make this recipe on the stovetop: Cut beef into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides. Remove meat and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil, and stir in carrots, celery, and onion. Cook until onion is translucent and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add water, tomatoes, barley, sugar, bouillon, bay leaf, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; bring to a simmer. Stir in beef cubes. Simmer, covered, until beef is tender and barley is cooked, about 2 hours. Add frozen vegetables in the last 30 minutes of cooking time. Season with salt and pepper.
