What precautions should be taken while cooking a thin steak?
I went to the Halal butcher the other day and asked for steak, except what I received was more like thinly sliced beef.
What can I do with this on a barbeque? Will it cook the same? How can rescue the situation?

Sounds like it's time for a steak sandwich. Grill it up in a frying pan, add some cheese and top with sauteed onions, mushrooms and peppers and serve it on a toasted baguette. You said the steak was thin, so make sure not to overcook it. Cook up the veggies first, then the steak.
No idea if its halal or not, but it sure will taste amazing.

How do you cook a thin steak?
If you want your thin-sliced steak just plain pan fried, cook it for 30 to 60 seconds in a very hot pan with a bit of oil. When that side is done, flip it over. This is a very quick process, so keep your eye on it.How do I cook steak safely?
On seasoning: I salt the surface of the steak liberally and leave it on a drying rack in the fridge for 24 hours before starting to cook \u2013 this is called the overnight dry brine. Dry brining in the fridge makes the meat juicer, tastier and dries out the outside which helps to achieve a good crust.Pan-Grilling Thin Steaks : Steak Recipes

You can definitely still cook it on the barbecue, just don't' cook it as long because the heat has less distance to penetrate. You can also try flipping the pieces more often so each side isn't exposed to the heat for too long, it can't penetrate too far into the meat before it is flipped over and begins cooling. This should allow you to get some nice crusting on the outside and keeping it juicy in the middle.
Get that bbq SUPER hot.
