Ingredients
4 beef shoulder top blade (Flat Iron) steaks (about 8-oz. ea.)
6 ears fresh sweet corn, in husks
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1 tsp. fresh lime juice
lime wedges
salt and ground black pepper

Rub:
2 Tbsp. ground cumin
3 large clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. freshly grated lime peel
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper

Directions:

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.
