Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp allspice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oil-soaked napkins and light the paper.
3. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F.

Step 2: Prepare the Meat Mixture

1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, salt, pepper, allspice, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Slowly add heavy cream while mixing to keep the meat tender.
3. Shape the mixture into elongated meatballs and thread them onto skewers.

Step 3: Sear the Meat on the Arteflame Grill

1. Place a small amount of butter on the center grill grate.
2. Sear the meat skewers on the center grill grate for 1-2 minutes per side to lock in the juices.
3. Once seared, move the skewers to the flat cooktop to finish cooking.
4. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 15°F below your desired doneness, then remove them from the grill.

Step 4: Prepare the Swedish Mustard Sauce

1. On the cooler part of the Arteflame flat cooktop, mix mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, sour cream, and salt.
2. Stir well and let it warm gently.

Step 5: Serve

1. Garnish the skewers with chopped fresh parsley.
2. Serve with the warm mustard sauce on the side or drizzled over the meat.

Tips

• Use butter for grilling to enhance the flavor.
• Move the skewers to cooler areas of the flat griddle to prevent overcooking.
• Let the meat rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.

Variations

1. Spicy Swedish Skewers: Add 1 tsp cayenne pepper and 1 minced jalapeño to the meat mixture.
2. Herb-Infused Skewers: Add 1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme and rosemary for added depth.
3. Cheesy Swedish Skewers: Stuff small cubes of cheddar cheese into the meat before skewering.
4. Lamb & Beef Blend: Use half ground lamb and half ground beef for a richer flavor.
5. Honey Garlic Mustard Sauce: Add 1 clove minced garlic and 1 extra tbsp honey to the mustard sauce.
