What to do:
1. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef steak and 1/2 c. marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hrs. or as long as overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and reserve remaining marinade in refrigerator.
2. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 8-9 min. for medium-rare doneness, turning occasionally and basting with some of the reserved marinade during last 2-3 min. of grilling. Remove; keep warm.
3. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add carrots; stir-fry 5 min. Add pea pods and garlic; stir-fry 2 min.
4. Carve steak into thin slices. Season with salt and black pepper, as desired. Place remaining marinade in small saucepan; heat until warm. Serve with steak, vegetables and rice. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
