If the bank is very steep, the straw will also come down the hill under a big rain. I'd call your local erosion controlcompany and ask them to give you a quote for spraying chopped straw and a tacafier. The tacafier makes the straw stick together. I would also recommend that you seed your ground cover before you apply any straw. The rye grass will grow as long as there is decent temp and moisture. It will head out and die and usually doesn't get too tall. You could also get a big roll of black visquine and tack it down so the water would run off w/o erosion. Lastly, there is a product called straw waddles that you could place horizontal to the slope and that would hold the soil as well. Check out the links at www.ieca.org and that should help.
