Combine remaining 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small saucepan; stir in water. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool slightly. Combine carrots, cucumber, and red onion in a small glass bowl; add vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
Preheat charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
