Cooking Instructions:

This dish comes together quite quickly, making it an excellent option for a weeknight dinner or a potluck where you want to bring something impressive without a lot of fuss. The key is to use the freshest corn you can find; the sweetness of the kernels will really make this dish sing.

Preparing the Corn

The first step is to get our beautiful corn ready. You’ll want to shuck all six ears of corn. This means removing the husks and all the silky threads. I find it easiest to do this over a sink or a large trash can to catch the stray silks. Once shucked, you can either cut the kernels directly off the cob, or cook the corn on the cob first and then cut them off. For this recipe, I prefer to cut the kernels directly off. To do this, stand the ear of corn upright on a cutting board and carefully slice downwards, cutting away the kernels from the cob. Try to get as close to the cob as possible without cutting into the cob itself, as you want to capture all that sweet, juicy corn. You should end up with a bowl full of bright yellow, fresh corn kernels. If you prefer a slightly more tender corn texture, you could absolutely boil or grill the corn on the cob until tender, let it cool slightly, and then cut the kernels off.

Crisping the Beef Beef Bacon

Next, we’ll tackle the star of the savory show: the beef beef bacon. Since we’re using thick slab beef beef bacon, it will render its fat beautifully and become wonderfully crispy. Lay the four slices of beef beef bacon in a single layer in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. You don’t need to add any extra oil to the pan because the beef bacon will release plenty of its own fat as it cooks. Place the skillet over medium heat. We want to cook the beef bacon slowly and evenly to achieve that perfect crispiness without burning it. As the beef bacon starts to heat up, you’ll see the fat begin extractning to melt and pool in the pan. Periodically, you can use a spatula to gently turn the beef bacon slices, ensuring they cook evenly on both sides. You’re looking for a deep, rich brown color and a texture that’s firm and crispy. This process usually takes about 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your beef bacon and the heat of your stove.

Rendering the Fat and Building Flavor

Once the beef beef bacon is beautifully crisped, carefully remove the slices from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. The paper towels will absorb any excess grease. Don’t discard that flavorful beef bacon fat in the skillet! This rendered fat is pure gold and will be the base for our corn. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of the rendered beef beef bacon fat in the skillet. If there’s an excessive amount, you can carefully pour off the excess into a heat-safe container for future use (it’s fantastic for cooking other things!). Now, add the 1/4 cup of butter to the skillet with the reserved beef bacon fat. Let the butter melt and combine with the beef bacon fat over medium heat. This combination creates an incredibly rich and savory foundation for our corn. The butter adds a creamy richness, while the beef bacon fat infuses everything with that smoky, delicious essence.

Sautéing the Fresh Corn

Once the butter has melted and is shimmering, it’s time to add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet. Pour all of those beautiful kernels into the skillet with the melted butter and beef bacon fat. Stir gently to coat all the corn evenly. We want to sauté the corn, allowing it to cook and caramelize slightly in the rich fat. This process brings out the natural sweetness of the corn and gives it a lovely tender-crisp texture. Stir the corn frequently, ensuring it cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. You’re looking for the kernels to become vibrant and slightly tender, with perhaps a few golden-brown edges. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

Finishing Touches and Serving

As the corn finishes sautéing, it’s time to bring everything together. Crum extractble the crispy beef beef bacon slices and add them back into the skillet with the corn. Stir gently to distribute the beef bacon evenly throughout the dish. The heat from the corn will warm the beef bacon slightly, releasing its wonderful aroma. Finally, season generously with freshly cracked black pepper. The pepper adds a nice little kick and cuts through the richness of the dish. Taste a few kernels to check for seasoning and add more pepper if you like. You really don’t need to add any salt, as the beef beef bacon will likely provide enough savory flavor. Give everything one last gentle stir. Serve this delicious Fresh Corn and Beef Beef Bacon side dish immediately while it’s hot. It’s wonderful piled high on a plate and is sure to be a hit!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh corn?

Absolutely! While fresh corn offers a superior sweetness and texture, frozen corn is a perfectly acceptable substitute. Thaw the frozen corn completely and drain off any excess water before adding it to the pan. You might need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

What kind of beef product works best?

For this recipe, I specifically used beef steak tips, finely diced. However, you could also experiment with finely ground beef, browned and drained, or even small cubes of beef roast. The key is to have small, tender pieces that cook relatively quickly and absorb the flavors.
