Servings: 2-4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 - Bone-In Beef Strip Steaks, cut 1" thick (about 12-15 oz. each)
- 4 ears of corn, husks removed
- Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder, to taste
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Lime wedges (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Prepare your charcoal grill.
- Combine the brown sugar, lime juice, and chipotle chili powder in a small bowl. Spread about two teaspoons of the mixture evenly onto beef steaks. Set the steaks aside to marinate. Use the remaining seasoning on the corn.
- Place corn on the outer edge of the grill over medium, ash-covered coals, and grill, covered, until tender, turning occasionally (about 15 to 20 minutes). The cooking time for the corn will remain unchanged for a gas grill preheated to medium heat.
- At the same time, place steaks in the center of the grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, for 9 to 11 minutes, turning occasionally. For a gas grill, reduce the steak’s cooking time to 9 to 12 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness.
- Remove the corn from the grill to cool slightly while the steaks finish cooking. Pull the steaks off the grill to rest for at least 5 minutes while preparing the corn.
- Once the corn is cool enough to handle, spread the mayonnaise evenly over each ear and coat them with cheese.
- To serve, slice the steaks and season the beef and corn with additional salt and fresh lime juice, as desired.

National Beef Month Spotlight: Recipes
The Round Primal is home to lean, inexpensive cuts from the rump and hind legs. The muscles in this area are used for movement, so the beef is leaner and less tender. These cuts are often sold as roasts, steaks for marinating, or even Ground Beef.
Lean Ground Beef, fresh parsley, and cumin are formed into meatballs and served in flatbreads for a light and fresh summer main dish.
In this go-to summer grilling recipe, Beef Back Ribs are marinated in an Asian-inspired marinade and then grilled to perfection.
The key to success when cooking ribs is the low temperature and several hours of cooking time. However, this beef primal cut also contains popular tender, juicy cuts of meat like Ribeye Roast and Ribeye Steaks.
