Husk the corn, and then leave it alone &#8211; don&#8217;t add any butter or seasonings or anything else to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roast the broccoli for about 20 minutes, or until it&#8217;s lightly browned and tender. I did this on a gas barbecue, but it&#8217;s very possible to cook broccoli on a firepit too &#8211; it&#8217;s just a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, place the corn cobs on the barbecue and just cook them <em>au naturel<\/em>. If the corn is any good, the natural sweetness will come shining through as it caramelizes and browns. I guess you can add butter to it if you absolutely must, but it&#8217;s really not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the broccoli and corn have about 10 minutes left to cook, add the whole skirt steak to a preheated and lightly oiled cast iron skillet. Cook for a couple of minutes each side, then remove and wrap in foil for another 2-3 minutes, while the vegetables finish cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slice the steak, and serve with the vegetables. And a good wine of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(My wife and I like to cut the corn off the cob immediately before serving, because we&#8217;re not big fans of watching or listening to people eat corn on the cob. Totally up to you though.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We bought a huge tub of Chimichurri sauce from Costco, so now we have to use it on everything&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":706,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"_s2mail":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[48,62,35,32],"class_list":["post-705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-aside","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cooking","tag-broccoli","tag-chimichurri","tag-corn","tag-steak","post_format-post-format-aside","fallback-thumbnail"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260724_194028-scaled-e1785102386421.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paL1Ha-bn","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=705"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":713,"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705\/revisions\/713"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
