Grilled Olympia Sausages Recipe in Washington

Introduction

Experience the bold, locally crafted flavor of Olympia Provisions sausages, grilled to perfection using the Arteflame Grill’s signature sear and reverse searing technique. This method locks in juices and delivers flavor-packed sausages with charred sear lines and juicy, succulent interiors. Whether entertaining outdoors or cooking for the family, this grilling recipe is the ultimate way to enjoy artisan sausages in Washington style.

Ingredients

• 4 Olympia Provisions sausages (any flavor)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for grilling)
• Vegetable oil (for lighting the grill)
• 3 paper napkins (for lighting)
• Firewood (for the fire pit)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil onto 3 paper napkins.
2. Place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins.
4. Light the paper napkins and let the grill come up to temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the sausages

1. While the grill is heating, bring the sausages out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature.
2. Lightly coat the sausages with melted butter to enhance flavor and prevent sticking during searing.

Step 3: Sear the sausages

1. Once the grill center reaches over 1,000°F, sear the sausages on the center grill grate for 1–2 minutes per side until nicely charred.
2. This step locks in the juices and creates that irresistible crust.

Step 4: Reverse sear on the flat cooktop griddle

1. Move the sausages from the center grate to the outer flat cooktop griddle.
2. Position them near the hotter inner zone and continue cooking, rotating occasionally.
3. Monitor internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
4. Remove the sausages when they reach 150°F – they'll rise another 15°F off the grill, bringing them to the perfect 165°F serving temperature.

Step 5: Rest and serve

1. Let the sausages rest for 5 minutes before serving to redistribute juices.
2. Plate with your favorite grilled sides directly from the Arteflame flat cooktop.

Tips

• Use butter instead of oil for enhanced flavor and a golden crust.
• Sear sausages quickly and move them to the flat top to avoid overcooking.
• Grill your side dishes simultaneously on the Arteflame flat griddle zone.
• Grill isometrics like onions, bell peppers, and sauerkraut alongside the sausages for a one-pan feast.

Variations

1. Smoky Apple Sausage: Use Olympia Provisions applewood smoked sausage and grill thin apple slices on the flat top for a sweet-savory combo.
2. Spicy Chorizo Style: Swap for spicy Olympic Chorizo and grill up some jalapeños and red onions for a bold, heat-forward bite.
3. Beer Brat Style: Use Olympia beer brats and serve with grilled sauerkraut and mustard grilled buns for a German twist.
4. Breakfast Sausage Sandwich: Grill Olympia breakfast sausages, crack eggs onto the flat top, and serve in a toasted bun with cheese.
5. Herb & Garlic Style: Choose Olympia garlic sausage and pair with grilled rosemary potatoes and char-grilled zucchini.

Best pairings

• Grilled Brussels sprouts or asparagus on the flat cooktop
• Grilled crusty artisan rolls
• Local Washington craft beer like an amber ale or pilsner
• Potato salad or tangy slaw right off the griddle
