This recipe is not a grain salad: rather a salad with grains! A small amount of nutty farro adds just enough heft to turn the signature side into a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; season with salt. Add the farro and the 2 large garlic cloves. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring, until the farro is tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, return to the pot and smash the garlic into the farro. Let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, pound the steak to an even thickness between 2 pieces of parchment paper; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the steak and cook, turning, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and set aside to rest.
  3. Meanwhile, add the scallions to the skillet. Cook, tossing, until softened and lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes.
  4. Make the dressing: Combine the vinegar, miso, honey and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Finely grate the small garlic clove into the bowl and whisk; season with salt and pepper. Combine the greens, cucumber, tomatoes and farro in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat.
  5. Divide the salad among shallow bowls. Slice the steak and add to the bowls, along with the scallions. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
