The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear

Why settle for low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills take longer, drying out your steak, while the Arteflame sears at 1000°F in just one minute, locking in juices for perfection.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Arteflame Grill

Start by lighting your Arteflame grill. Stack firewood over three oil-soaked napkins at the bottom of the grill, light them, and let the grill heat for about 20 minutes. You'll use the flat cooktop to achieve a perfect char on the chicken skewers.

2. Marinate the Chicken

Cut the chicken into thin strips (about 1 inch wide) for skewering. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, lime juice, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and oil. Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).

3. Make the Thai Peanut Sauce

In a small cast-iron skillet or heatproof container, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, red curry paste, lime juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, fish sauce, garlic, and ginger. Place the container on the outer edge of the flat cooktop griddle and gently heat the sauce, stirring frequently until smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust with water if it thickens too much. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Skewer the Chicken

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, making sure each piece is evenly spread along the skewer.

5. Grill the Chicken

Place the chicken skewers on the hot center of the Arteflame grill’s flat cooktop. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Turn the skewers frequently to avoid burning.

6. Serve

Once the chicken is fully cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Serve with the Thai peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro if desired.

1,000°F Sear for Steakhouse-Quality Perfection

Only The Arteflame’s center grill grate reaches 1,000°F, delivering the intense heat needed to sear steaks to perfection while keeping the inside juicy and as rare as you like it.

Tips for Perfect Chicken Satay

  • Marinate Longer: For the most flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Even Grilling: Turn the skewers regularly to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  • Peanut Sauce Consistency: If the peanut sauce gets too thick, thin it with a little water or coconut milk.
