Bring a wide saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until beginning to get tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and reserve the drippings.
Light a grill for indirect medium-high heat, about 400ºF. Stand facing your work surface and position the butterflied steak with the grain running horizontally.
Gently pound the steak to an even thickness of ¼ to½ inch.
