this was my first time using pearl barley, so i was quite interested to see how this turned out and if my b/f would actually like the barley bit. (he can be fussy.) :) chuck roast isn't so common in the netherlands, so i used chuck roast steaks (better known as sukadelapjes in .nl). worked fantastically. i used chestnut mushrooms instead of white, 4 toes of garlic, 400ml beef stock plus 100ml red wine, and just 1 tsp of salt. no problems with the barley being undercooked or not enough gravy. everything was perfect. served with crispy roasted potatoes, and the b/f gave it 5 stars. a winner. :)
