Add pork; turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator, turning once or twice, for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare salad: Whisk oil, orange juice, vinegar, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Set 2 Tbsp. of the dressing aside. Add black beans, barley, bell pepper, corn, scallions, and cilantro (if using) to the remaining dressing; toss to coat. Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Discard the marinade and grill the pork until just cooked through (there may be a trace of pink in the center), 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Divide the salad between 2 plates and top each salad with a pork cutlet. (Refrigerate the remaining cutlet for another use; see Associated Recipe.) Drizzle the pork with the reserved dressing. To make ahead Refrigerate salad (Step 2) for up to 2 days. (Omit cilantro, if using, and add it just before serving.) Tip To oil grill rack: Rub an oil-soaked paper towel over the grates (use tongs to hold the paper towel). Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.
