Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
pinch dried chilli flakes
small bunch mint , chopped
2 lean lamb leg steaks, about 100g/4oz each, trimmed of any fat
100g pearl barley
200g broad beans , fresh or frozen, podded and skins removed, if you like
100g frozen petits pois
1 small red onion , finely chopped
zest and juice 1 lemon

Steps:

Mix together 1 tbsp oil, the garlic, chilli, half the mint and some salt and pepper. Rub all over the steaks, then if you have time, leave to marinate for up to 2 hrs.
Cook the pearl barley in boiling, salted water until tender, but not too soft, about 20 mins. Cook the beans and peas in the same pan for the last 2 mins. Drain really well, then tip into a large bowl. Add the red onion, remaining mint, lemon zest and juice, remaining oil, salt and pepper. Toss everything together.
Heat a griddle or frying pan until almost smoking and cook the lamb for 4 mins on each side for pink, or longer if you prefer your meat well done. Divide the barley salad between 2 plates and serve with the grilled lamb, drizzled with any pan juices.
