instructions
1
Cook the barley
Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the barley and cook, uncovered, 28 to 30 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
2
Prepare the ingredients
Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve the tomatoes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the lemon crosswise; remove the seeds. In a bowl, combine the currants and the juice of 1 lemon half. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt and the juice of the remaining lemon half.
3
Cook the steaks
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes. Wipe out the pan.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this.
Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
4
Cook the vegetables
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced zucchini in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Add the halved tomatoes, chopped garlic, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat.
5
Finish the barley & serve your dish
To the pot of cooked barley, add the romesco sauce, dressed currants (including any liquid), and cooked vegetables. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the finished barley topped with the sliced steaks and lemon yogurt. Enjoy!
