Ingredients

• 4 Swiss alpine herb sausages
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (for serving, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the oiled napkins inside the grill.
3. Stack firewood on top of the napkins.
4. Light the napkins and wait for about 20 minutes until the cooktop reaches grilling temperature.

Step 2: Preheat the Cooking Surface

1. Once the grill is hot, spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the flat griddle cooktop.
2. Ensure the griddle is evenly coated to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

Step 3: Sear the Sausages

1. Place the sausages on the center grill grate, where temperatures exceed 1,000°F.
2. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side to create a flavorful crust and lock in juices.

Step 4: Cook the Sausages to Perfection

1. Move the seared sausages to the flat griddle cooktop.
2. Cook slowly, rotating occasionally, for about 8–10 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 150°F.
3. Sprinkle the sausages with fresh thyme, rosemary, and oregano for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

1. Remove the sausages from the grill when the internal temperature is about 135°F (they will continue cooking off the grill).
2. Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
3. Serve with Dijon mustard on the side.

Tips

• Use high-quality Swiss alpine herb sausages for the best flavor.
• Move the sausages to different heat zones on the griddle to prevent overcooking.
• Butter enhances the crispiness of the sausage casing and adds a rich taste.
• Always allow meat to rest before serving for the juiciest results.

Variations

1. Garlic Parmesan: Sprinkle sausages with grated Parmesan and minced garlic while they cook.
2. Spicy Swiss: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
3. Honey Mustard: Glaze with a mixture of honey and Dijon mustard in the final minutes of grilling.
4. Herb Butter: Serve with melted compound butter made from fresh herbs and garlic.
5. Smoky Paprika: Add smoked paprika to the butter for a smoky depth of flavor.
