Method

4 steps

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy-bottomed pot, brown the minced meat until cooked through, breaking up any lumps with a fork. Transfer the meat to a separate container, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pot.
Add the remaining butter, chopped onion, carrot, shredded kale, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 5-8 minutes until the onion is soft.
Pour in the broth and water, add the pearl barley. Cover and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes until the vegetables and barley are tender.
Return the browned meat to the pot, add the vinegar, and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
