GRILLED BEER BRATS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Grilled Beer Brats with Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for oiling the grill
6 strips applewood-smoked bacon, diced
1 sweet onion, sliced
1 large green pepper, seeded, sliced
1 large red pepper, seeded, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Two 12-ounce cans lager beer
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 pounds fresh bratwurst sausages (about 12 links)
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, deep saute pan or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, the green and red peppers and the garlic and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the peppers are wilted and lightly browned. Add the beer, chicken stock, thyme, bay leaf and rosemary and deglaze the pan. Prick holes in the brats with a fork or skewer to prevent them from bursting during cooking. Add the brats to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 to 17 minutes, turning the brats halfway through.
  • Preheat a grill or cast-iron griddle to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the brats from the pot; let the braising liquid continue to simmer and reduce. Pat the brats dry with paper towels, then score them diagonally, making 3 or 4 shallow incisions on either side (this will ensure plenty of crispy edges when grilled). Brush the grill lightly with oil and grill the brats for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until well-marked.
  • When the braising liquid has reduced to the consistency of a sauce, remove it from the heat and stir in the mustard and butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spoon some of the braising sauce, along with the peppers and onions, onto a platter. Set the grilled brats on top and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, ONIONS AND PEPPERS



Grilled Sausages, Onions and Peppers image

There is no more reliable guest at a cookout than sausage, roasted over the open fire. But before you grill the meat, get some peppers and onions soft and dark and fragrant in the heat, and use these as a bed on which to serve the links. Italian sausage works beautifully here, as do hot links and bratwurst. If cooking brats, think about simmering them first in beer and onions, then finishing them on the fire.

Categories     barbecues, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound sweet peppers (green, red and yellow, if available) seeded and cut into eighths
2 large yellow onions, peeled and cut into large coins
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt, more to taste
2 pounds sweet or hot Italian sausages, or bratwurst or other fresh sausage

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
  • Meanwhile, toss peppers and onions with oil and sprinkle with salt. Lightly prick sausages all over so that they do not burst.
  • Put peppers and onions in a grill basket or directly on the grill, turning occasionally until they are softened and dark at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Move them to the side of the grill without coals.
  • Place the sausages on the hot side of the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally until they are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the peppers and onions to a platter and top with the sausages. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

SKILLET BRATS WITH BEER CARAMELIZED PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Skillet Brats with Beer Caramelized Peppers and Onions image

This recipe alludes to my time at culinary school. Right around the fall, it was standard to head to the Hudson River with my fellow comrades, drinking beer and cooking the brats on an open fire. By caramelizing the brats in the beer sauce, they just get better and better.

Provided by JJ Johnson

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced thin
4 medium bell peppers, sliced thin
4 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
2 pounds bratwurst, uncooked
12 ounces beer, stout or porter preferred
Hot Pepper Mustard, for serving, recipe follows
Pretzel rolls, for serving
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 banana peppers, stems and seeds removed and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, then the onions, peppers and garlic. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they just begin to soften and the onions turn translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Move the onions and peppers to the side of the skillet and add the bratwurst. Score the bratwurst with a knife on both sides. Add to the pan and sear, about 3 minutes per side. Add the beer to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, turning the bratwurst and stirring the vegetables occasionally, until the beer reduces by half and the brats are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve with hot pepper mustard and pretzel rolls.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, water, honey, sugar, banana peppers, bell peppers, onions and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low/medium low and simmer until the peppers and onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a small food processor or blender and puree until very smooth. Add the mustard and puree until just incorporated. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely, then refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.
