BEER BRATS



Beer Brats image

Fans of Midwestern-style beer brats have strong opinions about the best way to prepare them. Some like to simmer the bratwurst in beer before browning them on the grill (as is the case here); some prefer grilling first, soaking in beer after. But everyone agrees that the brats should start out fresh and uncooked (rather than precooked, like hot dogs), then be served on a split, toasted roll with onions and plenty of mustard. Purists may shun adding the likes of ketchup, pickles and sauerkraut to the sandwich, but when you're the cook, you get to choose which condiments to put out - or set aside.

Categories     sausages, main course

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 ounces lager or pilsner beer (2 cans or bottles)
2 medium onions, halved and sliced 1/4-inch thick
6 uncooked bratwurst sausages
6 bratwurst rolls or hoagie rolls, split
Spicy brown or yellow mustard, for serving
Pickles and ketchup, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Light a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high.
  • In a medium pot over high heat, bring beer and half the onions to a simmer (save remaining onions for serving). Add bratwurst to the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer sausages to the grill, and grill until they're well browned on all sides, 2 to 5 minutes, turning often.
  • If you like, while the brats are grilling, let the beer and onions boil over high heat until the onions are very soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve onions for serving.
  • Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until golden, about 1 minute. Serve the brats sandwiched in the rolls and topped with onions (either raw or beer-braised, or both), along with any condiments you like.

Provided by Queen Dana

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons mustard seeds (black or brown)
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
12 bratwursts
2 medium white onions, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rings
1 1/2 cups brown ale, such as Newcastle
12 hoagie rolls
1 cup sweet-hot mustard
2 tablespoons sweet-hot mustard

Steps:

  • Place mustard seeds and caraway seeds in a small resealable plastic bag and crush with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Melt butter in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tightfitting lid over medium heat. When the foaming subsides, add 6 of the bratwursts and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining bratwursts.

Pour in beer and braise bratwursts, turning once, until they are completely cooked through, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toast hoagie rolls and spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard on each. Place a bratwurst in each bun and cover with onions.

I wasn't even sure what to call this. All I knew was, I made a pot roast and used beer for the liquid instead of broth or wine or water or consomme.
