Santa Fe Grilled Beef Steaks & Corn

A simple chile glaze is used as a spicy finishing touch for savory butter on grilled corn and steaks.

Cook Mode

Ingredients:

  • 2 beef T-Bone Steaks, cut 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds)
  • 4 ears sweet corn, in husks
  • 3 tablespoons butter
Chili Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup prepared steak sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Cooking:

  1. Peel corn, leaving husks attached at base; remove silk. Rewrap corn in husks; tie closed. Soak in cold water 30 minutes. Combine glaze ingredients; remove and reserve 1/4 cup.
  2. Drain corn. Place on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently.
  3. After 5 or 10 minutes, place beef T-Bone Steaks on grid with corn. Grill, covered, 11 to 16 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 15 to 19 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally and brushing with glaze during last 5 minutes.
    4. Cook's Tip:

    Two Strip Steaks Boneless, cut 1 inch thick (about 1-1/4 pounds) may be substituted for T-Bone Steaks. For charcoal, grill, covered, 11 to 14 minutes (for gas, grill 11 to 15 minutes) for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally

  4. Combine reserved 1/4 cup glaze and butter in 1-cup glass measure. Microwave on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring once. Carefully peel corn; brush with chile butter. Serve with steaks and remaining chile butter.
