Chile Lime Beer Buttered Corn

April 25, 2011 by DanicasDaily 3 Comments

Here is recipe #4 in my Cooking with Beer Series ~ Chile Lime Beer Buttered Corn.  This is one of the recipes I wanted to make the most as part of our Beer-BBQ using New Belgium’s Beers. I really thought that the lime and sea salt would be like taking a sip of a cold beer with fresh lime squeezed in it.  I kicked it up with a little chili followed by the richness of butter.

I LOVE grilled corn and usually it needs nothing on it to be delicious when it’s freshly picked.  However, I think this recipe changed my mind with every bite.

CHILI LIME BEER BUTTERED CORN

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp Fat Tire Amber Ale
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp  lime zest
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 4 ears corn, in husk
  • Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Carefully peel back husk from ear, without detaching from the bottom, remove silk from corn, fold the husk back around the ears, and soak in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to weigh down the ears so that they are fully submerged.

2.  In a small bowl, combine butter through chili powder, and set aside.

3.  Preheat a BBQ to medium, indirect heat. Remove ears from water, drain, open husk, dry ears with paper towels, and brush butter mixture evenly on corn. Fold husk back over corn and grill for 15 to 20 minutes.

4.  Grill for 15-20 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly, then, carefully pull husks back and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.

Makes 4 servings, 1 cobb is 3 points+

STEP – BY – STEP

I wanted the flavor of the beer to stand out yet be subtle on the corn so I went with Fat Tire Amber Ale.

Carefully remove the silky corn hair leaving the husks in tact.

Place in a bowl of water and put a plate or bowl on top to make sure the corn is completely submerged in the bowl of water.  Soak for 30-45 minutes.  This is important so your corn “steams” and your husks do not catch on fire.

Mix together your “secret” sauce.

Brush liberally on all the corn cobs and fold the husk back over.

Grill over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.  I still caught my husks on fire Winking smile lol

Remove husk and season with coarse sea salt and black pepper before serving.

Crunchy, sweet, salt, tangy with a little spice and beer in every bite.

    can regular beer be used or do you really need the better make up lime chili butter and just spread on corn when finished?

      Hi Pam,

      You can use regular beer and you can just spread it on the corn when it is done cooking as well.
