Cooking Instructions for Grilled One Minute Steak and Paprika Corn on the Cob

Cooking this dish is straightforward and enjoyable, making it ideal for chefs of all skill levels. Follow these steps, and you’ll be ready to serve a delicious meal in no time.

1. Start by prepping your corn. Place the ears of corn on a hot griddle. Cook them until they become tender, which should take about five to seven minutes. As they cook, sprinkle with paprika and half of the salt to enhance their flavor. You want to see a slight char on the corn, indicating that it’s perfectly grilled.
2. While the corn is cooking, take a small saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and add the garlic cloves. You’ll want to sauté the garlic until it turns golden brown, which adds a delicious aroma and flavor to the oil. Once it’s golden, remove the garlic from the oil and discard. Keep the oil warm by reducing the heat to the lowest setting.
3. Now it’s time to cook the steak. On a very hot griddle, place your steak slices. Cook them for about thirty seconds on each side. You’re looking for a lovely sear, and they should be medium-rare when done. Remember to season them with the remaining kosher salt and pepper while they cook.
4. Once the steak is cooked, transfer it into the warm saucepan with the garlic-infused oil. This step allows the steak to absorb all those incredible flavors. Turn the steak to coat both sides evenly in the oil.
5. Finally, serve your steak immediately alongside the grilled corn. If desired, add some optional salad leaves for a fresh touch. Enjoy the rich flavors and juicy textures of this delightful dish!
