Thinly slice the green onions, green part only. Toss the green onions and carrots together then set aside until ready to serve. Pull apart leaves of Boston lettuce and place in a bowl. Preheat the grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Lightly oil the pan with cooking oil. Grill quickly to desired doneness. Time will vary depending on the cut of steak. Remove from grill and allow to rest a few minutes. To serve: Place, rice, lettuce, and carrot/green onion on the table. Slice beef into thin strips and serve with dipping sauce. Each person assembles their own wrap. Prepare Dipping Sauce. On a cutting board, use the side of the blade of your knife to crush the garlic and the sugar together, forming a paste. Transfer paste to a small bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix together well and reserve until ready to use.
