To prepare beef, combine first 6 ingredients in a zip-top plastic bag. Add 1 T. red wine vinegar; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours. To prepare salad, combine 1 T. red wine vinegar, onion, and next 6 ingredients (onion through cucumber) in a large bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Prepare grill. Remove steak from bag, discarding marinade. Place the steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
