Grilled German Nuremberg Rostbratwurst Recipe

Introduction

Nuremberg Rostbratwurst are small, flavorful German sausages, traditionally grilled to golden perfection and served with mustard and bread rolls. Using the Arteflame grill ensures a perfect sear at 1,000°F, locking in the juices for an incredible taste. This recipe will guide you through the reverse searing method for the juiciest, most delicious bratwurst you'll ever have.

Ingredients

• 12 Nuremberg Rostbratwurst sausages
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 fresh German-style bread rolls
• 1/2 cup German mustard (Dijon or Bavarian-style)
• 1 small white onion, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins.
3. Ignite the paper napkins and allow the fire to build up.
4. Wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up, ensuring the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F for the perfect sear.

Step 2: Sear the sausages

1. Place the Nuremberg sausages directly on the center grill grate.
2. Sear them for about 30-45 seconds per side to lock in the juices.
3. Once seared, move the sausages to the flat cooktop to finish cooking gradually.

Step 3: Cook to perfection

1. Position the sausages on the flat top cooktop closer to the center for medium-high heat.
2. Cook, turning occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until evenly browned.
3. Ensure the sausages reach an internal temperature of 155°F, then remove them from the grill (they will continue to cook off the heat).

Step 4: Toast the bread rolls

1. Slice the rolls in half and place them on the outer section of the flat top griddle.
2. Toast them lightly for 1-2 minutes until they develop a slight crisp.

Step 5: Assemble and serve

1. Place three sausages in each bread roll.
2. Garnish with sliced onions and a sprinkle of parsley (if using).
3. Serve with a generous amount of German mustard.

Tips

• Always remove the sausages from the grill at 155°F, as they will continue cooking off the heat.
• Use high-quality German mustard to complement the flavors.
• Move your food around the different heat zones of the Arteflame grill for optimal cooking.

Variations

• Cheesy Brats: Melt a slice of Swiss cheese over each brat before serving.
• Spicy Kick: Add a spicy mustard or sriracha blend for extra heat.
• Beer-Infused: Before grilling, briefly marinate sausages in a German pilsner.
• Bacon-Wrapped: Wrap each brat in a thin slice of bacon before grilling.
• Caramelized Onion Delight: Sauté onions on the flat top with butter and sugar before adding them to your brats.

Conclusion

Grilling Nuremberg Rostbratwurst on the Arteflame grill delivers unbeatable flavor with perfect searing. The reverse sear technique ensures juicy, flavorful sausages every time. Serve with mustard and fresh bread rolls for a true German experience!
