My Beef Barley Skillet Dinner is also healthy and economical.
Lean beef makes healthy and delicious recipes.
Here’s some facts about lean beef.
- A 3 o.z. serving of lean beef is about 150 calories
- Nearly half of the daily value for protein which helps build strong muscles
- Less than 10 grams of fat per serving, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat
- Less than 95 mg of cholesterol
- delivers iron and B-vitamins to help satisfy you and maintain a healthy weight
- Research suggests that eating lean beef can also improve cholesterol levels.
Barley is also nutrient dense. It’s very good source of molybdenum, manganese, dietary fiber, and selenium, and a good source of copper, vitamin B1, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium, and niacin.
Together with carrots, onion, peppers and garlic you have a sure fire delicious, nutritious one pan dinner your family will love!
I used petite sirloin steaks to make this meal. Other cuts to use are top round steaks, strip steak or eye round steak.
Whichever cut you choose, remember to make it Certified Angus Beef ® brand. I get the best selection at Weis Markets.

The Certified Angus Beef ® brand supports local farmers and ranchers in small communities across the country. It has a tradition of excellence spanning over 40 years. The brand offers amazing flavor in every bite.
- The Certified Angus Beef ® brand is the world’s first brand of beef, established in 1978.

- The Certified Angus Beef ® brand is known for its marbling – the little white flecks of flavor that ensure the tastiest, most tender and juiciest cuts of beef.
- Their family ranchers raise not just “Angus” beef, but the #BestAngusBeef .
