"Steaming the bratwurst allows the beer and spices to permeate the meat. You get the crusty exterior from finishing them on the grill," says Bobby.

Beer-Simmered Grilled Sausages

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Categories     Beef     Pork     Poach     Picnic     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Sausage     Summer     Tailgating

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

a needle or pin and a cork
1 cork
3 pounds uncooked sausages, such as sweet or hot Italian sausages, bratwurst, chorizo, linguica, or any other sausages you prefer
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 cups beer, as needed
About 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Prick each sausage a half-dozen times with a needle or pin stuck in a cork. Arrange the onion slices on the bottom of a sauté pan just large enough to hold all the sausages. Place the sausages on top and add beer and water to cover (the ratio should be about 3 parts beer to 1 part water). Place the pan over medium heat and gradually bring the liquid to a simmer, not a rapid boil. Poach the sausages until half-cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a rack on a baking sheet to drain or drain in a colander. Separate the sausages into links.
  • 2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high.
  • 3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Lightly brush the sausages on all sides with oil and place on the hot grate. Grill until the casings are crisp and nicely browned and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. You may want to rotate the sausages 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks. Should flare-ups arise, move the sausages to a different section of the grill. Use a slender metal skewer to test for doneness. Insert it into the center of one of the sausages: It should come out hot to the touch.
  • 4. Transfer the sausages to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with plenty of mustard.
  • Variations: Poaching is optional and not every grill jockey does it. If you omit the poaching, you'll need to grill the sausages 7 to 10 minutes per side.
  • For absolutely foolproof sausage grilling, use the indirect method. The sausages will be fully cooked in about 30 minutes.

  • Arrange onion slices and garlic along the bottom of a medium stockpot. Place bratwurst on top and then add the beer, water, coriander, caraway, mustard seeds and ginger. Fire up the grill. Bring to a simmer over the grill grates or on a stove burner. We do it on the stove top, but you still need the grill to finish cooking the brats. Simmer the sausage in the mixture for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the bratwursts sit in the liquid for 10 more minutes. Remove the sausages with tongs onto the grill. Grill until cooked through and have grill marks. Serve on buns with garnishes of your choice.

SHEBOYGAN-STYLE BEER-SOAKED "BRATS"



Sheboygan-Style Beer-Soaked

Categories     Beer     Onion     Sausage     Summer     Oktoberfest     Tailgating     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups beer (not dark)
1/4 cup Bavarian mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 large onions
12 uncooked bratwursts
6 hard rolls, halved and well buttered
Accompaniments:
sliced dill pickles
Bavarian mustard

Steps:

  • In a large deep heavy skillet stir together beer, mustard, and ketchup.
  • Cut 1 onion into thick slices and add to beer mixture.
  • Bring beer mixture to a boil and in it simmer bratwursts, uncovered, turning occasionally, 20 minutes.
  • Prepare gill.
  • Remove bratwursts from beer mixture, discarding beer mixture. Cut remaining 3 onions into thick slices, keeping slices intact.
  • Grill bratwursts with onion slices on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning onions once, until bratwursts are cooked through and golden brown and onions are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Put a pair of "brats," cut in half lengthwise and stacked, on each roll.
  • Top brats with grilled onion, pickles, and mustard.

Tips:

  • When choosing bratwursts, look for plump, evenly-colored links with no signs of damage.
  • If you're using fresh bratwursts, prick them all over with a fork before cooking to help them cook evenly.
  • You can use any type of beer you like for this recipe, but a dark beer will give the brats a richer flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the brats. If the pan is too crowded, the brats will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the brats over medium heat until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the brats with your favorite sides, such as sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, or grilled onions.

Conclusion:

Beer-simmered brats are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual get-together or a backyard barbecue.
