Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring that the grates are clean and free of any debris.
Step 2
Husk the corn, removing all the silk strands and any loose husk leaves.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Step 4
Brush each ear of corn with the seasoned olive oil mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
Step 5
Place the corn directly on the grill grates, positioning them perpendicular to the grates to prevent slipping through.
Step 6
Grill the corn for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs. Look for a nice char on all sides and that the kernels have become tender.
Step 7
Remove the corn from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Step 8
While the corn is hot, spread 1 tablespoon of butter over each ear, allowing it to melt and enrich the corn with its buttery goodness.
Step 9
Garnish the corn by sprinkling the chopped cilantro evenly over the ears.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn before eating, adding a refreshing citrusy note to the smoky flavors.
