Grill Entire Barbecue Menu for Labor Day Barbecue

This Labor Day, why not grill the entire menu on the grill. This menu is steak, corn on the cob and whole potatoes.

First I pulled back the corn husks and removed the corn hairs, then removed the outside husks, all but about 2 layers all around. This keeps the corn from burning on the grill and also allows the smoke to get in and add flavor.

The potatoes were pierced and put in a microwave oven for about 10 minutes so the insides were partially cooked.

A half hour before putting on the steaks, I put meat tenderizer on each side, accent and lots of pepper. I cover the steaks in pepper.

The grill was preheated to about 400 degrees, then I turned 2 of the burners to about medium and left the right burner at high. The corn was removed from the water, then the husks pulled back and butter added. The husks wrapped the corn and went on the grill. They would grill for about 25 minutes.

The potatoes went on over the high burner at the same time. I turned the corn and the potatoes about every 5 minutes. Yes - cover is closed.

The steaks were about a half inch thick, so they went on during the last 5 minutes of grilling. Wanted to turn the steaks at 2 1/2 minutes but they wouldn’t lift until 3 minutes, so the other side was on 2 minutes and lifted fine.

This barbecue technique allows you to grill a whole meal outside, especially nice on these hot, humid days. Beats heating up the house.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
