1
Steak -- Just rub the steak with the olive oil on both sides and then season well with the salt, pepper and oregano.
-
2
Place in a large baggie and let it marinade anywhere from a couple of hours or all day if you have the time.
-
3
The longer -- the better.
-
4
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
-
5
Now you can grill this inside on a grill pan or outside which is what I prefer.
-
6
It can even be done in a cast iron or other saute pan if that is all you have.
-
7
Dressing -- As the steak comes to room temp, make the dressing.
-
8
In a small bowl mix all the ingredients and refrigerate.
-
9
Barley -- Simply prepare according to package directions.
-
10
Set to the side and let it cool.
-
11
Grilling -- However you decide to cook your steak, grill or cook until medium rare (which is what I like) but cook it to your liking.
-
12
Let the steak rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
-
13
Slice 4-5 pieces per person.
-
14
As you prepare the steak, get your salad ready.
-
15
Salad -- In a large bowl add the arugula, cooled barley (it doesn't have to be cold, just room temp or even slightly warm is fine) and shallots.
-
16
Right before you plate the salad, toss lightly with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
-
17
Plating -- Put a nice serving of the lightly dressed salad with barley and shallots on each plate topped with the steak slices and then dress with the horseradish mustard vinaigrette.
