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.

Yield 8 Bratwursts, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 bratwursts (I like Johnsonville, but any brand will work)
8 hot dog buns (I like to get bakery style if possible)
1 green pepper, thin sliced in strips
1 red pepper, thin sliced in strips
1 yellow pepper, thin sliced in strips
1 large onion, cut in half and thin sliced
24 ounces dark beer, I prefer amber bock but use your favorite (2 bottles, 18 oz for the brats and vegetables and 6 oz for the sauerkraut)
3 garlic cloves, just smashed and skins removed no reason to cut
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (15 ounce) can quality sauerkraut, drained well (you can also use a fresh bagged brand too)
8 tablespoons pepper relish (many quality store brands, I love it on burgers, dogs, brats, just about anything)
Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
aluminum foil and tins for cooking the brats and sauerkraut

Steps:

  • Vegetables and Brats -- In a aluminum pan add the beer, peppers, onions and brats. Also add the red peppers, garlic and cover with foil and let simmer on medium/low heat on the grill for about 20 minutes. Remove the cover and cook 10 more minutes, then transfer the brats to the grill as you finish cooking the peppers. Without the foil on season with salt and pepper and let some of the liquid reduce. The brats lightly brown on the grill.
  • Sauerkraut -- Also when you put the vegetables and brats in the aluminum tin also add the sauerkraut to a smaller aluminum pan along with the remaining 6 oz of beer, cover with foil and set on the grill on indirect heat. You just want to heat it up is all. About 15 minutes. Right at the end of cooking, uncover and let some of the liquid evaporate.
  • Buns -- Remove the cooked brats and put back on top of the vegetables and recover also remove the sauerkraut. and keep covered. Now grill the buns lightly.
  • Dinner -- Now add a little dijon mustard to the bun, 1 tablespoon of the pepper relish, the brat, some of the peppers and onions and top with the kraut. Now that is a classic bratwurst.

BEER BRATS



Beer Brats image

This is our family's way of making beer brats! We love them this way and they are even better re-grilled the next day! Depending on how much you drink while you are prepping you may need more or less beer!

Provided by SarahBeth

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 5 brats, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 (12 ounce) cans beer
5 uncooked bratwursts (we like Johnsonville best)
1/8 cup yellow mustard
1/8 cup stone ground mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 medium onion, cut into rings about 1/3 of an inch thick
sauerkraut (optional)
1 large red bell pepper (cut in rings the same size as the onions)
5 hot dog buns or 5 hoagie rolls

Steps:

  • Get a large grill safe dish (we use the reynolds disposable roasters), place the onions, red bell peppers (if using) and brats in the bottom.
  • Mix the two mustards, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar together and dump this mixture over the brats and onions etc.
  • Stir until the onions and brats are evenly coated.
  • Pour enough beer into the dish to cover the brats and onion, then give it a slight stir to mix the mustard mixture with the beer.
  • Put in fridge and let sit at least 30 minutes, but an hour or two is much better. When marinating time is up, remove and let come to room temperature.
  • Pre heat your grill to medium high heat.
  • Place the container directly on the grate and cook the brats in the beer mixture for 10-15 minutes, until the beer is steamy and hot. Remove from heat. But do not discard yet.
  • Turn the grill down to medium heat (or however you like your brats grilled).
  • Remove the onions and brats from the beer mixture. Then place the brats on one side of the grill and the onions on the other.
  • Grill brats and onions, turning occasionally until done. Each time you turn, baste with the remaining beer mixture. The onions should be somewhat caramelized and soft.
  • Discard the remaining beer mixture and serve on buns or hoagies with sauerkraut and other condiments as desired.

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil

Many popular grocery stores offer fresh bratwurst in the meat section. It's important to choose the right kind of beer for the recipe.

The Preparation

Let the beer come to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and to let the bratwursts simmer for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.

Merging the Brats, Peppers, and Onions

Once the bratwursts are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and slice them diagonally into 2-3 pieces.

In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips to help you create the most amazing beer brats with peppers and onions recipes.

Tip #1: Choose the Right Ingredients

Making the perfect beer brats with peppers and onions starts with choosing the right ingredients. The sausage, peppers, and onions can significantly impact the flavor of the dish. Therefore, it is crucial to choose high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh sausages that have not been previously frozen, and avoid sausages that have been sitting in the store for too long. When it comes to peppers and onions, make sure they are fresh and ripe.
Sausage
When choosing the sausage for your beer brats with peppers and onions recipe, consider the following: - Flavor: Choose a sausage that has a flavor that complements the other ingredients. For instance, if you are using sweet peppers, you may want to use a spicier sausage to balance out the sweetness. - Texture: Look for a sausage with a firm texture that can handle grilling and stays together when cooked. Avoid sausages that are too soft or have a rubbery texture. - Size: Use sausages that are the right size for your buns. The sausages should be longer than the buns to allow space for the peppers and onions.
Peppers and Onions
When choosing peppers and onions for your beer brats with peppers and onions recipe, consider the following: - Color: Use a variety of colorful peppers to add visual appeal to the dish. Red, yellow, and green peppers are great choices. - Texture: Cut the peppers and onions into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly. - Cooking Time: Peppers and onions have different cooking times. Onions take longer to cook than peppers, so it is best to start cooking the onions before adding the peppers.

Tip #2: Grill the Sausages

Grilling the sausages is an essential part of making the perfect beer brats with peppers and onions. Grilling gives the sausages a smoky flavor and helps to cook them evenly. However, grilling sausages can be tricky. Here are some tips to help you grill the perfect sausages for your recipe.
Preheat the Grill
Before grilling the sausages, preheat the grill to high heat. This helps to cook the sausages evenly and prevents them from sticking to the grates.
Use Indirect Heat
When cooking the sausages, use indirect heat. This means placing the sausages on the side of the grill that is not directly over the flame. This helps to prevent the sausages from burning and allows them to cook evenly.
Avoid Piercing the Sausages
Piercing the sausages can cause them to lose their juices and become less flavorful. Instead, use tongs to turn the sausages and avoid piercing them with a fork.
Use a Meat Thermometer
Using a meat thermometer is a great way to ensure that the sausages are cooked to the right temperature. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the sausage to check the internal temperature. Cook the sausages until the internal temperature reaches 160°F to ensure they are fully cooked.

Tip #3: Cook the Peppers and Onions

Cooking the peppers and onions is just as important as grilling the sausages. The perfect beer brats with peppers and onions recipe should have tender and flavorful peppers and onions. Here are some tips to help you cook the perfect peppers and onions for your recipe.
Cook the Onions First
Onions take longer to cook than peppers. Therefore, it is essential to cook the onions first. Sauté the onions in a little bit of oil until they are translucent and slightly caramelized.
Add the Peppers
Once the onions are cooked, add the peppers and continue to sauté until they are tender. Do not overcook the peppers, as they will become mushy.
Season the Peppers and Onions
Season the peppers and onions with salt, pepper, and any other spices that you like. This adds flavor to the dish and complements the flavors of the sausages.
Add Beer
Adding beer to the peppers and onions is a great way to enhance the flavor of the dish. Use a light beer that complements the other flavors. Pour about half a cup of beer into the pepper and onion mixture and let it simmer until the liquid has reduced.

Tip #4: Serve with the Right Accompaniments

The perfect beer brats with peppers and onions recipe should be served with the right accompaniments. Here are some suggestions for what to serve with your dish.
Buns
Use fresh buns that are the right size for your sausages. Toast the buns on the grill for a few seconds before serving to add flavor and texture.
Condiments
Serve the dish with condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and relish. These condiments enhance the flavor of the dish and complement the flavors of the sausages.
Side Dishes
Serve the dish with side dishes such as potato salad, coleslaw, or grilled vegetables. These side dishes complement the flavors of the main dish and add variety to the meal.
Drinks
Serve the dish with beverages that complement the flavors of the sausages. Beer, cider, or lemonade are great choices.
