Directions
1.
Mix vinegar and water in small bowl. Stir in dressing mix. Stir in oil. Divide dressing mixture in half.

3.
Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill beef 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning and brushing with marinade occasionally, until desired doneness. Discard any remaining marinade. Cut beef into 3x 1/4-inch slices.
4.
Divide salad greens, arugula, tomatoes and mushrooms among 4 plates. Top with beef; drizzle with remaining dressing. Sprinkle with cheese and croutons.
