Seal bag; turn to coat beef. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Cover and chill the remaining vinaigrette to use for brushing the mushrooms and for the dressing. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Thread the mushrooms onto four 6- to 8-inch skewers.* Brush mushrooms with 2 teaspoons of the reserved vinaigrette; set aside. For a charcoal or gas grill, place steak on rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat for 17 to 21 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness (145°F to 160°F), turning once halfway through grilling. Place skewers with mushrooms on the grill rack after turning the meat; turn skewers occasionally. Let meat stand for 5 minutes. Thinly slice meat across the grain. Cool meat and mushrooms completely. Divide remaining vinaigrette among four small containers. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours. In four salad containers evenly layer arugula, beef, strawberries, kiwifruit slices, orange slices, and mushrooms. Top with parsley. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours. To serve, shake vinaigrette. Drizzle one vinaigrette portion over one salad portion. Cover and shake to combine or toss with a fork to combine.
