  1. BlixSam Style Beef & Barley Soup
    Serves a family of 4
    Tender slow cooked beef, pearl barley and rich farmhouse flavour layered into hearty winter comfort food, made the BlixSam way 😄
    🛒 Ingredients
    • 2 tbsp butter
    • 1 tbsp oil
    • 700g stewing beef, cubed
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 2 carrots, diced
    • 2 celery stalks, sliced
    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1 potato, cubed
    • ¾ cup pearl barley
    • 1.5 litres beef stock
    • 1 tbsp tomato paste
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley for serving
    🌿 BlixSam Flavour Layer
    • 1 tbsp BlixSam Arm Maat
    • 1 tsp BlixSam Steakhouse
    • ½ tsp BlixSam Bazaar Kerrie
    👨‍🍳 Method, Layered the BlixSam Way
    1. Build the flavour foundation
    Heat butter and oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat.
    Brown the beef properly until deep golden and rich in colour.
    Remove and set aside.
    2. Bloom the flavour
    In the same pot add onion, carrots and celery.
    Cook slowly until softened and fragrant.
    Add garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
    Add BlixSam Arm Maat, Steakhouse and Bazaar Kerrie directly into the buttery vegetable base.
    Let the spices bloom gently for 2 minutes while stirring. This builds the deep farmhouse richness into the soup.
    3. Build the soup
    Return the beef to the pot.
    Add potato and pearl barley.
    Pour in the beef stock and stir well.
    Bring to a gentle simmer.
    Cover partially and cook low and slow for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef becomes tender and the barley softens beautifully.
    4. Finish the comfort layer
    Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
    If needed, add a little extra stock or water for your preferred consistency.
    The barley should naturally thicken the broth into rich comforting perfection.
    5. Serve the BlixSam way
    Serve steaming hot with thick buttered bread or toasted roosterkoek.
    Finish with fresh parsley and cracked black pepper over the top.
    The soup should be rich, hearty and deeply comforting with tender beef and silky barley in every spoonful 😄
