Ingredients
2 cups fresh Washington Rainier cherries, pitted
6 oz creamy goat cheese
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp honey (optional, for drizzling)
1/2 tsp sea salt
Fresh basil or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Crusty grilled bread slices or crostini for serving (optional)
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 a bit of vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
Place the oil-soaked napkins in the bottom center of the Arteflame grill.
Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes. The flat cooktop will heat from the center outward, offering different temperature zones to work with.
Step 2: Prepare the cherries
Gently rinse and pit the Rainier cherries.
Place cherries in a bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. Let them sit while the grill heats.
Step 3: Grill the Rainier cherries
Add butter to the medium-hot zone of the flat cooktop just inside the outer edge.
Place the cherries on the buttered area of the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly charred and caramelized.
Remove the cherries from the grill and set aside.
Step 4: Assemble
Spread goat cheese onto your serving plate or over grilled bread slices/crostini if using.
Top with the warm, charred Rainier cherries.
Drizzle with a touch of honey for a sweet finish, if desired.
Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or mint.
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.
Use cherries that are just ripe for the best balance of sweetness and firmness.
Grill bread slices on the outer edge of the flat top to develop a perfect crisp.
Always pit the cherries first—biting into a pit can ruin the eating experience.
If the goat cheese is too firm, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before spreading.
Do not crowd the cherries on the grill to ensure even caramelization.
