Beef & Barley Stew

Beef and Barley stew made its appearance in A Clash of Kings –

“Maybe they don’t have sheep and cattle, Bran thought. He commanded the serving men to bring them mutton chops and a slice off the aurochs and fill their trenchers with beef-and-barley stew. They seemed to like that well…”

This Beef and Barley stew recipe is adapted from a recipe on the Inn at The Crossroads, the official Game of Thrones food blog, vouched for by George R Martin himself.

Serve the beef and barley stew as a main course for lunch or dinner with white bread and some mutton chops on the side.
