Trim excess fat from meat; place meat in a shallow dish. Add 1/3 cup dressing; turn once. Cover; marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours or let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Drain meat, discarding marinade. Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 inches from heat for 12 to 15 minutes for medium doneness, turning once. (Or, grill, uncovered, directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once.) Cut into thin strips.
