1/2 habanero chile, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped,
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions
- 1. Preheat a grill to high.
- 2. Crush garlic clove, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mash into a coarse paste using flat side of a large knife. Mix garlic paste together with mango, scallions, habanero, lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and cilantro. Set aside.
- 3. Pat steak dry and trim and if needed, cut in half to fit grill.

Grill until slightly charred, crisp, and medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice meat into about 3-inch long sections; thinly slice each section.
- 4. Place sliced steak on a serving platter with salsa, romaine leaves, and cucumber slices.
