  1. **Stovetop:** In a large pot or Dutch oven, dissolve 1 cup beef bouillon cube (or 2 tbsp of beef base) in 8 cups of water.
  2. Add 1 lb beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  4. Add 1 cup barley and 1 cup frozen peas. Continue to simmer, covered, for another hour, or until the barley is tender.
