Tips

A successful Hawaiian-style mixed grill balances sweet, savory, and smoky flavors, and the Arteflame makes this easy with its wide heat zones. For the best results, prep ingredients ahead so everything cooks smoothly. Keep an eye on sugars from the marinade, as they caramelize quickly on the hot surface. Brushing lightly instead of pouring helps build flavor without burning. Don’t overcrowd the grill—give proteins room for even browning. Use pineapple cut thick enough to hold shape on high heat.

• Marinate proteins longer for deeper flavor.
• Use fresh pineapple for the best caramelization.
• Keep a cooler zone free for resting cooked items.

Variations

This mixed grill is easy to adapt based on your taste or what you have on hand. You can swap proteins, change the marinade profile, or add more seasonal vegetables. The core approach stays the same—high heat, balanced flavors, and fresh ingredients. Experiment with different combos to make the recipe uniquely yours while keeping the Hawaiian-inspired foundation intact.

• Use beef short ribs instead of pork belly.
• Swap teriyaki for a citrus-soy marinade.
• Add zucchini or mushrooms to the veggie mix.
• Use mango slices instead of pineapple.
• Glaze shrimp with a light honey-lime sauce.

Best pairings

This Hawaiian-style mixed grill pairs wonderfully with bright, fresh sides and chilled beverages that balance its sweet and savory profile. The smoky proteins and caramelized pineapple shine when served alongside light textures and tropical flavors. Consider adding a small dipping sauce or chilled salad to round out the meal without overpowering the grill’s natural depth.

• Coconut rice or jasmine rice
• Mixed green salad with citrus dressing
• Grilled sweet corn
• Chilled white wine or light beer
