Step 1
Cut steak into 3/4-inch (2 cm) cubes. In large pot, melt butter over high heat; brown beef on all sides. Reduce heat to medium-high.
Step 2
Add garlic, carrots, onion and thyme; cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until onions are softened.
Step 3
Add mushrooms and barley and stir to combine. Stir in beef stock and Worcestershire; bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until barley is tender.
Step 4
Increase heat to medium. Whisk flour into milk and gradually stir into pot. Cook, uncovered, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
