Instructions
For the Meat
Slice the steak as thin as you can, against the grain. If you find the slicing tricky freeze the meat for an hour or so and slice is while partially frozen. Place the thin steak slices into a Ziploc bag.
Place all marinade ingredients into the bowl of your food processor. Process until a smooth paste forms. Pour the paste over the meat in the bag. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat, making sure each piece is well coated. Let the meat marinade at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
For the Veggies
Cut the onion into eighths and separate the layers. Cut the green pepper into long strips. Cut the carrots into rounds on an angle. Place all the chopped veggies into a large bowl.
In a small bowl mix together soy sauce, oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour over the veggies and let marinade for at least 30 minutes.
The Main Event
Preheat your grill to a high heat, around 450-500F. (You should be able to hold your hand a few inches above the grill grates for only 2 seconds or so.) Place your grill basket over grates to let it pre-heat as well.
Place the veggies into the grill basket and grill for 5-7 minutes, stirring once about halfway through. Transfer the golden brown veggies to a bowl or serving platter.
Place the meat slices into the grill basket. Grill for 2-3 minutes on the first side. Flip the pieces and grill for 1-2 minutes on the second side. Transfer the cooked meat to your serving platter.
Enjoy warm or cooled. To serve, layer the meat and veggies onto sliced hoagie rolls.
