For a richer flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Adjust the amount of barley to your preference. More barley will result in a thicker consistency. If you don't have sazon seasoning, a pinch of smoked paprika and a dash of cumin can be used as a substitute. Garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
