• 1 beef Top Round Steak, cut 1 inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 1 small eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices
• 2 large red or yellow bell peppers, cut lengthwise into quarters
• 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise in half
• 1/2 cup grame tomato halves
• 9 cups mixed baby salad greens
• Salt and ground black pepper
• Shaved Parmesan cheese
• MARINADE
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef steak and 1/2 cup marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for salad.
2. Spray vegetables, except tomatoes, with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange vegetables around steak. Grill steak, covered, 12 to 14 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 16 to 19 minutes) for medium-rare (145ºF) doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.) Grill eggplant and bell peppers 12 to 15 minutes; zucchini and yellow squash 8 to 12 minutes, covered (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, eggplant 6 to 8 minutes; bell peppers, zucchini and yellow squash 7 to 11 minutes) or until tender, turning occasionally and basting with remaining reserved marinade.
4. Cut grilled vegetables into 1-inch pieces. Carve steak into thin slices. Toss lettuce, tomatoes and grilled vegetables with remaining 1/2 cup marinade. Divide vegetable mixture between 6 serving plates. Arrange beef steak slices over vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Sprinkle with cheese, as desired.
