Quick NY strip steaks

Friday is usually grilling day if it's warm enough. I ran down to the local butcher's shop and bought a couple of NY strip steaks for this evening. I also bought some corn and a bundle of asparagus (more on that later.)

They probably didn't need it, but i did a marinade and let them sit in the fridge for two hours: 1/4 cup lime juice 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup tamari 1/4 cup high-heat oil (i used sunflower) ~1 tbsp brown sugar a few cloves of garlic, squashed through a press ~1 tbsp stone-ground mustard a handful of thyme a handful of cilantro

I also soaked the corn for a half hour so the husk wouldn't burn during the cooking session.

Once work was over I went out to the patio and started the BBQ. When I had it stabilized at 450F, I added the corn, took the steaks out of the fridge to bring them up to room temperature, and added the corn.

I tried to prep the asparagus, but it was slimy and smelled like a fish tank. We had frozen peas instead.

After the corn had been on the grill for 20mins (turned it 15mins) I added the steaks. They were about 2" thick, so I did the first side for 6min and the second for 7. They ended up on the done side of medium rare. I think next time I'll try 5 and 7. Dinner went well and I've got enough left over for a sandwich tomorrow. Have a good weekend!
