Enjoy a delightful summer meal with grilled beef sausages and sweet corn on the cob, perfect for outdoor gatherings. This fuss-free recipe delivers big flavor with minimal effort, making it a go-to for busy weeknights and leisurely weekends.

Ingredients

  • High-quality beef sausages (e.g., bratwursts, Italian sausage, or smoked beef sausages)
  • Fresh corn on the cob
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Softened unsalted butter
  • Coarse salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional seasonings: dry rub for beef, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, lime juice, chopped fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Grill: Get your grill ready at medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C). Clean the grill grates thoroughly and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
  2. Prep the Corn (Husks On Method): Peel back the husks without detaching them completely, remove all the silk, and rub the kernels with olive oil or softened butter, seasoning with salt and pepper. Pull the husks back up around the corn.
  3. Prep the Corn (Shucked Method): Remove all husks and silk completely, brush each ear of corn with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Prep the Sausages: Pat the beef sausages dry with paper towels and lightly brush them with olive oil.
  5. Grill the Corn: Place the prepped corn on the grill. For husk-on, grill over medium-high heat, turning every 5-7 minutes until charred and tender, about 15-25 minutes. For shucked corn, grill directly, rotating frequently until tender and lightly charred, usually 10-15 minutes.
  6. Grill the Sausages: After 5-10 minutes of grilling corn, add sausages to the grill. For raw sausages, sear over medium-high heat, turning until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Move to indirect heat or lower heat to medium-low, cooking until an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached, typically another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove sausages and corn from the grill. Let sausages rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve corn hot with extra butter and salt on the side.

Nutrition

Keywords: Monitor grill zones for even cooking, avoid overcrowding the grill, and consider making a compound butter for the corn for added flavor. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure sausages are cooked to a safe temperature.
