Cooking with Fire! Part IIUsing what I had learned after my first cookout in my wood fired oven I had a nice fire going quickly. While getting the oven up to temperature I placed some corn still in the husk and soaked in water on the top grate. I kept them there for about 10 minutes plus while getting the oven up to about 700 degrees. I would turn the corn every minute or so. I waited until the silk at the top was almost completely burned off before removing the corn. It was steamed inside and had a tinge of smokey flavor. The kernels were very firm and not at all mealy. While the corn was cooking we placed a Flat Iron Steak on the bottom firestone to sear it a bit. After a couple of minutes we moved it up next to the corn on the grate and removed the corn and the steak at the same time. I had never tasted Flat Iron Steak and was a bit skeptical as to how it would taste but it was extremely flavorful and tender. As with everything I have cooked in the wood fired oven it was very juicy.
