In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to make the steak marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the steak and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly across the grain.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and honey to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens with the cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and half of the dressing.
Arrange the salad on individual serving plates. Top each salad with slices of steak.
Drizzle the remaining dressing over the steak and serve immediately.
