Instructions

Lightly brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season evenly with salt and pepper. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F) . If you're using a charcoal grill, keep a small part of the charcoal grate clear of briquettes as a safety zone of indirect heat.

In a small bowl whisk the dressing ingredients. Slowly add ¼ cup oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing. Season with salt.
In a large serving bowl combine the lettuce, bean sprouts, carrot, and cucumber.
Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, turning once or twice (if flare-ups occur, move the steaks temporarily over indirect heat). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the steak into ½-inch pieces.
