What to do:
1. Pull back husks from corn, leaving husks attached. Remove and discard corn silk. Bring husks back up around corn; tie in place with kitchen string or strips of corn husk. Soak corn in cold water 30 min. or up to several hours.
2. Combine rub ingredients. For Cumin-Lime Butter, combine 2 tsp. rub mixture, butter and lime juice in small bowl; set aside. Press remaining rub evenly onto beef steaks. Cover and refrigerate steaks 30 min.
3. Remove corn from water. Place on grid over medium, ash-covered coals; grill, covered, 20-30 min. or until tender, turning occasionally.
4. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 14 min. for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.
5. Remove and discard husks from corn. Carve the 2 steaks into slices. Squeeze lime wedges over beef, as desired. Spread Cumin-Lime Butter over 4 ears corn. Season beef and corn with salt and black pepper, as desired.
