  1. BARLEY

    Place the rinsed pearl barley in a pot with 350ml of salted water. Bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until al dente, 30-35 minutes (stirring occasionally). Drain and cover.

  2. PREP

    Finely chop the mixed herbs and place ¾ in a bowl. Add the feta to the bowl and toss until coated in the herbs. Set aside.

  3. CARROTS

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the halved baby carrots and a splash of water. Cover with the lid and simmer until softened and the water has evaporated, 5-6 minutes.

  4. ALMONDS & HONEY

    Once the carrots have softened, remove the lid and add a generous knob of butter to the pan. Fry until browned, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add ½ the chopped almonds. Remove from the heat and toss through the honey. Season and cover to keep warm.

  5. SIRLOIN

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  6. SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the cooked barley, the diced cucumber, the remaining almonds, the remaining herbs, the vinegar, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil.

  7. TIME TO DINE!

    Plate up the barley salad and side with the sirloin slices, drizzled with any reserved pan juices. Serve with the honeyed carrots, drizzled with any remaining honey sauce. Sprinkle over the herb-crusted feta and any remaining herbs. There you have it, Chef!
