Wagyu steak is booming with flavor. It loves the BBQ and goes particularly well with this creamy, smoky and fresh Mexican street food, known in its homeland as 'elote'.
Method
- Bring steak to room temperature, brush with oil and season generously on both sides with salt. Heat BBQ/ hot plate until hot.
- Cook steak for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until caramelized, turning only once. Remove from hot plate just before desired doneness is reached.
- Allow meat to rest in a warm place for 4 -5 minutes before serving.
Mexican Corn
- Remove husk and rub corn with a thin layer of olive oil, then season with a little salt.
- Cook corn on a hot BBQ, turning to get a bit of color on each side. Remove from the grill when all sides have color.
- Combine the aioli (or mayo) and sour cream (or Mexican crema) and apply all over each cob of corn.
- Squeeze with lime juice (or serve with lime wedges on the side).
- Sprinkle corn with chili and paprika, then top with crumbled feta/quesco fresco and finely chopped cilantro.
Serve
Serve steak with Mexican street-style corn and/or any other sides of your choice.
Tip
If corn is out of season, make a Mexican corn salad instead: use 4 cups of frozen corn kernels in place of the corn ears. Fry the kernels in a little oil, then mix through the mayo, sour cream/crema, chili and smoked paprika. Season with salt to taste. Top with crumbled feta/quesco fresco and finely chopped cilantro.
