Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob (in husks)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 36 ounces Light beer (e.g., lager or pilsner)
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Soak the corn (still in its husks) in a large bowl of water for 10-15 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess moisture. Place the corn on the grill grates and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the husks are slightly charred and the kernels are tender.
Once cooked, allow the corn to cool slightly, then peel back and remove the husks and silk. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cobs and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the grilled corn kernels, salt, and ground black pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes to bring out their smoky flavor.
Pour the beer into the saucepan with the grilled corn mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the juice of one lime and the honey to the beer and corn mixture. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.
Using a blender or an immersion blender, carefully puree the mixture until smooth. If desired, strain the blended liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids for a smoother texture.
Pour the warm Grilled Corn on the Cob Beer into glasses or mugs. Garnish with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this unique culinary creation!
