Ingredients
1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, halved
6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Optional: crushed red pepper flakes
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.
Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the Arteflame grill bowl.
Stack dry firewood over the napkins and light the paper.
Wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up. The center grate will reach over 1,000°F and the cooktop will be hot and evenly heated. You're ready to cook.
Step 2: Cook the bacon
Place the chopped bacon directly onto the flat cooktop close to the center for a hotter zone.
Stir occasionally with tongs or a spatula until crispy and browned.
Move the bacon pieces toward the cooler edges to keep warm without burning.
Step 3: Sear the Brussels sprouts
Add butter to the hot griddle area where you cooked the bacon—right into those flavorful bacon drippings.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the buttered area, forming a single layer.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let sear undisturbed for about 6–8 minutes until deeply caramelized.
Step 4: Finish cooking the Brussels sprouts
After the cut sides are crispy, flip each sprout and cook for another 4–5 minutes until just tender.
Mix in the crispy bacon and let them grill together for 1–2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5: Add final touches and serve
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the grilled Brussels sprouts and bacon while still hot.
Optional: sprinkle on some crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Serve hot, directly off the griddle, or transfer to a warm platter and enjoy immediately.
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.
Keep everything arranged according to heat zones. Use the hottest areas for crisping and searing, and outer zones to hold food warm.
Start with bacon; its fat adds flavor and acts as a great base for cooking the sprouts.
Use fresh, tight Brussels sprouts for optimal texture and flavor.
Watch for charring on the sprouts—golden brown is ideal.
When grilling meats alongside, remove them from the grill when they are 15°F below target temp as they continue cooking while resting.
Cook Everything, All at Once
Experience culinary versatility with Arteflame's unique airflow system, creating distinct temperature zones. From sizzling steaks to delicate veggies, grill a full range of dishes simultaneously, ensuring perfectly cooked food for every taste.
Sweet Maple Glaze: Replace balsamic glaze with a maple syrup drizzle for a touch of sweetness that complements the smoky bacon.
Spicy Sriracha Brussels: Instead of balsamic glaze, toss with a mix of sriracha and honey after grilling.
Garlic-Parmesan Style: Grill with minced garlic and sprinkle Parmesan cheese after removing from the griddle for an Italian twist.
Smoky Applewood: Use applewood-smoked bacon and drizzle with apple cider reduction for seasonal flavor.
Herbed Dijon Mustard: Toss finished sprouts in a mixture of butter, thyme, and Dijon mustard for a tangy herbaceous kick.
