Heat olive oil on med-high.
Sauté garlic cloves until aromatic.
Add and brown 1 lb red meat (beef, venison, moose, bison etc.) Pour in 1 qt beef broth.
Pour in 1 qt. beef broth.
Start sprinkling in dehydrated veggies. (May decide to add a bit more after all liquids are in).
Add potato, pearl barley or macaroni.
Add juices.
Simmer until veggies are tender. Taste and add vinegar and sugar to your taste. Start with 1 tsp. each. I like about 2 Tbs. in mine. Perhaps a bit more vinegar.
Let simmer for about 20 minutes after veggies are done. If possible, let sit in fridge overnight.
