  2. Pat the beef roast dry and season with salt and pepper.

  6. Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover the Dutch oven.
  7. Transfer to the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
  8. While the meat cooks, peel and cut the rutabaga into 1 1/2-inch chunks.
  9. Peel carrots and cut lengthwise into quarters.
  10. Trim the ends off the green beans.
  11. Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and carefully take out 2 cups of the cooked barley and vegetables.
  12. Place the removed barley and vegetables into a blender and blend until smooth.
  13. Stir the blended mixture back into the liquid in the Dutch oven to thicken the gravy.

Note

Storage: Allow leftovers to cool completely before refrigerating in an airtight container. The dish will keep for 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven, adding a splash of water or broth if the gravy has thickened too much.

Freezing: This casserole freezes well. Cool completely and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Ingredient Substitutions: If you cannot find rutabaga, turnips or parsnips are excellent substitutes. You can also swap green beans for broccoli florets or red potatoes.

Tip: For extra flavor, add a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary to the pot before baking.
