Grilled Butter Flavored Ribs of Corn

Corn on the cob is one of my favorite summer vegetables. There is something about biting into a juicy cob of corn that has been freshly rubbed with butter and salt to go with your barbecued meats. This innovation on barbecuing corn helps it cook more evenly on the grill and is packed with flavor. There is no boiling water in this recipe. So, grab a really sharp kitchen knife, a couple cobbs from your local farmer or grocery store and get ready to have your mind blow with this new Ribs of Corn recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ea Cobs of Your Favorite Corn
  • 1/2 cup Butcher BBQ Butter Flavour Grilling Oil
  • 1/4 cup Yonedas Buttery All Purpose Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Corn Ribs
    Pre-heat your grill to 400 degrees F.
    The first step in preparing the corn is to cut the cobbs in half length wise, then cut those halves in half, so you are left with ¼ sections of corn that are kind of triangular shaped or shaped like a piece of pizza. Be careful while doing this process, I find the easiest way to do it is to use a sharp kitchen knife and put the corn on a cutting board, place the tip of the knife on the cutting board and run it through the cob on an angle, using the cutting board for leverage. Once the cobs are cut in half, the next cut is easy by placing the flat cobb side down, you can easily go through the next piece.
  • Seasoning the Corn Ribs
    In a foil tray, pour the butter flavored grilling oil and then mix in the Yonedas Buttery All Purpose Seasoning. Take your corn ribs and dip them into the seasoning mixture. Using a silicone BBQ brush, brush the seasoning all over the corn.
  • Grilling the Corn
    Place the corn on the grill at 400F cobb side down. Turn the corn every 2-3 minutes for 10 minutes until the corn is cooked through. Remove it from the grill and serve hot and fresh.
  • Step By Step
    Slice the corn into quarters, length wise
    Pour the grilling oil and seasoning into a pan and combine
    Brush each corn with the butter grilling oil and seasoning evenly with Yonedas Buttery All Purpose Seasoning
    Cook at 400F for 10 minutes, turning regularly
    Once corn is cooked through, serve hot

Notes

When is corn season?

In Canada, corn season is usually towards the end of July to Mid-August. You can find some early corn beginning towards the end of June or early July in some parts of the country, but for fresh local corn its best to wait til the end of summer. Imported corn will also work for this, and if you are a prudent shopper, you can basically find corn year-round.
