Introduction

A skewer variation of Kentucky’s famous burgoo stew, these grilled skewers feature perfectly seared beef, chicken, and vegetables cooked to juicy perfection on the Arteflame grill. By utilizing the high-temperature center grill grate to sear the meats before finishing them on the flat top griddle, you lock in flavor and achieve ultimate tenderness. Let’s fire up the Arteflame and get grilling!
