Oktoberfest Grilled Bratwurst with Pretzel Buns

Get ready to grill up a perfect Oktoberfest-inspired meal with juicy grilled bratwurst served on warm pretzel buns. Using the Arteflame grill, we’ll sear the brats to lock in flavor while grilling onions and bell peppers on the flat cooktop. This hearty meal is full of smoky flavors, perfect for celebrating Oktoberfest!


Ingredients:

  • 6 bratwurst sausages
  • 6 pretzel buns
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp beer (preferably a German lager)
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sauerkraut (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

Start by getting your Arteflame grill ready. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins, place them in the grill, and stack your firewood over top. Light the grill and let it heat up for about 20 minutes. You want the center grill grate hot enough to sear the bratwurst, while the surrounding flat cooktop heats up for the veggies.

2. Prepare the Veggies

While the grill heats up, slice the onions and bell peppers. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and mix in the mustard, beer, and caraway seeds (if using). This will be used to baste the veggies as they cook.

3. Sear the Bratwurst

Once the center grate is scorching hot (around 1000°F), place the bratwurst directly over the heat for a quick sear. Turn them every minute until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes total. The goal here is to lock in those juices with a good sear before moving the brats to the outer flat top griddle.

4. Grill the Veggies

Move the bratwurst to the flat cooktop, closer to the edge where the heat is lower. On the hotter middle part of the flat top, melt the remaining butter and add the onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper, and baste occasionally with the beer-mustard mixture. Grill until caramelized and tender, about 10 minutes.

5. Finish Cooking the Brats

Let the bratwurst cook through on the flat cooktop, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove them from the grill when they hit about 145°F, as they’ll continue to cook off the heat.

6. Toast the Pretzel Buns

While the brats are resting, lightly toast the pretzel buns on the cooler outer edge of the flat top. This should only take a minute or two.

7. Assemble the Bratwurst Sandwiches

Place each bratwurst in a toasted pretzel bun. Top with the grilled onions and peppers, and add a spoonful of sauerkraut if desired. Finish with a drizzle of mustard, and serve immediately.


Tips for Success:

  • Keep an eye on the veggies: The flat top’s heat zones make it easy to cook the vegetables to perfection, but they can caramelize quickly near the center, so stir frequently.
  • Beer selection: Use a German lager for basting the vegetables and adding an authentic Oktoberfest touch. You can also serve it on the side!
  • Monitor bratwurst temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the brats hit the perfect internal temperature without overcooking.

Variations:

  1. Cheddar-Stuffed Bratwurst: Stuff the bratwurst with cheddar cheese before grilling for a gooey, cheesy surprise.
  2. Bacon-Wrapped Brats: Wrap each bratwurst with bacon before grilling for added smokiness and flavor.
  3. Spicy Bratwurst: Add sliced jalapeños and spicy mustard to bring a kick to your Oktoberfest meal.
  4. Apple-Slaw Topping: Top your bratwurst with a fresh apple and cabbage slaw for a refreshing crunch.
  5. Beer Cheese Sauce: Drizzle warm beer cheese sauce over the bratwurst for a decadent twist.

Pairings:

  • German Lager: A crisp, refreshing beer like a traditional Märzen or Helles is the perfect match.
  • Potato Salad: A warm German-style potato salad with bacon and vinegar complements the flavors of the bratwurst.
  • Pretzels and Mustard: Serve soft pretzels with a variety of mustards for dipping alongside the brats.
