Metric Jester's Beef, Barley and Onions
"After playing around with steamed barley, I realized I didn't have to use just water to steam the barley. Now this may sound like a basic cooking technique to you, but to me it was a revelation in the form of a new recipe. I grabbed a bunch of ingredients I had around my house, put them on the counter and made this up in my head. I suggest you double up the recipe, cause this barely feeds me by myself it's so good!"

This was really good for someone who was just playing around! I made this exactly as listed, using extra lean ground beef. I think that this would be good with mixed veggies and a fresh roll. I made this for my adopted chef, Metric Jester, for this round of Pick A Chef! Thanks Jester! :)

<p>I like food! I like video games! I've never been able to combine the two successfully. <br /> <br />I live in St. Catharines Ontario, and was taught how to cook by both my parents. <br /> <br />I have been working on what I like to call "Quick and Dirty Recipes". They are recipes with very little prep time, and very easy to put together. They are also the kind of recipe you can do on a budget for only one or two people. Most of them you can prep for long before (as long as the cut food keeps) and just throw them together at a moment's notice.</p>
