Smoky Strips Steaks with Mexican-Style Grilled Corn

Ready for grilling season? Throw beef Strip Steaks and corn covered in a spicy, smoky seasoning mix on the grill for an easy, flavorful Mexican-inspired meal.

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

  1. Prepare your charcoal grill.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, spread the mayonnaise evenly over each ear and coat them with cheese.
  7. To serve, slice the steaks and season the beef and corn with additional salt and fresh lime juice, as desired.
