Yesterday was Memorial Day. We had a restful and relaxing day at home. Grilling is one of the things we love to do for Holidays. Yesterday was no different.
Our menu was quite simple, but packed with flavor. Beef Plate Short Ribs and Mexican Street Corn.
I am not sharing the recipe for my Beef Plate Short Ribs at this time. I am saving that one for my cookbook.
The Mexican Street Corn is what’s up today. Mexican Street Corn is corn that is grilled then covered with a few simple ingredients but yet so flavorful. Delicious when served right off the grill.
