It is way too easy to get over complicated when trying to cook outdoors. Food doesn’t need to be complicated, especially over live fire where the natural smokes and caramelization from the charcoal do half the work.

John from Hog Shack in BC, Canada reminds us how simple and satisfying meat, scallops and vegetables can be cooked over a grill.

Fresh ingredients are accompanied by only salt, pepper and butter in this mouthwatering meal that can be cooked as easily in the back yard as it can on a campfire.

Recipe Directions

1. Prepare the charcoal grill with a hot and medium side, then pre-heat the skillet.

2. Add the corn to the grill. Place the butter to melt in the skillet.

3. Add the green beans to the skillet. Salt and pepper the steak, then start cooking it.

4. Turn the steak when brown on one side. Turn the corn making sure it is cooking evenly. Move the beans to one side then add the scallops.

5. As items finish cooking move to the cool side of the grill. The trick is to get the meat cooked to your preferred doneness at the same time the scallops are ready. Be careful as scallops are easy to over cook.
