Put the olive oil, soy sauce and steak seasoning into a plastic food storage bag.

Add the steak, seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. I do overnight.

Grill the Steak. Cook the steak to your tastes. (Rare, Medium or Well Done)

Let the meat rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.

Place your choice of lettuce greens in bowl, toss in red onion, tomatoes

Thinly slice the steak and place on top of the salad.
