Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.

Place the steak on a plate and brush each side with the wasabi. Season with salt and pepper and brush with the oil.

Grill the steak for 3 minutes on each side for rare, or until the desired doneness. Let rest on a plate for 5 minutes.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, soften the Brussels sprouts in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the corn and peas (see note). Cover and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
