Ingredients

• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 2  tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2  tablespoons  balsamic vinegar
• 2  teaspoons  toasted sesame oil
• 2  teaspoons brown sugar
• 1  teaspoon ginger, chopped

• 12  ounces  sirloin steaks, trimmed
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 16  scallions, white part only
• 1  red bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 2  cups  mixed greens (escarole, curly endive, radicchio or watercress)

Directions

1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Combine garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, brown sugar and ginger in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Set aside.
3. Press peppercorns into both sides of sirloin. Season with salt. Place the sirloin, scallions and bell pepper halves on the grill and cook for 4 minutes. Turn over and cook until the meat is medium-rare and the vegetables are slightly charred, about 4 minutes more.
4. Let sirloin rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly, against the grain. Cut scallions into 1-inch pieces. Slice the pepper lengthwise into strips.
5. Toss greens with the reserved dressing in a large bowl. Arrange on a platter or 4 plates. Top with sirloin and grilled vegetables. Serve immediately.
