sauté the carrots, celery and onion in oil until tender. Remove
vegetables from the soup pot and reserve. Heat the remaining 2
tablespoons of olive oil in the soup pot and sauté the beef until
just no longer pink on the outside of the cubes. Add the vegetables
back to the soup pot; add mushrooms, chicken broth and barley. Bring
