1. Place barley in a saucepan with plenty of water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain and rinse briefly.
2. Trim and halve snow peas and baby cucumbers, thinly slice spring onions and cut cherry tomatoes in half. Set aside.
3. Blend avocado with juice from 1/4 lemon, 2 tbsp olive oil and crushed garlic using a stick mixer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Heat a large griddle or frypan over high heat. Brush steaks with oil, 1 tsp oregano, salt and pepper. Cook in pan for 1 minute on each side (in batches) or to your liking. Set aside.
5. Combine 2 tbsp olive oil, juice from remaining 1/4 lemon, 1/2 tsp honey and chopped basil leaves from 1/2 packet. Toss with barley mix and season to taste with salt and pepper. Layer with fresh vegetables on a platter and scatter with remaining basil leaves and olives.

Notes:
Add 1 tsp ground cumin to the avocado cream. You can also mix through some yoghurt or sour cream for a milder flavour.
