Brown the ground beef in a frying pan with olive oil. Meat should be in small pieces.

Cut the bell peppers and onion into 1 inch pieces.

Add the bell peppers, barley, beef broth, ground beef, stewed tomatoes, rosemary, and parsley into a large pot. Place the pot onto the stove and bring all ingredients to a boil then turn down the heat, cover, and simmer until done. How long you cook it depends on how well done you like your vegetables. I cook it for 30 minutes because I like crispy vegetables.
