Best Beer Simmered Grilled Sausage Recipes

BEER BRATS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. When hot, lightly oil grate.
• Combine the beer and onions in a large pot; bring to a boil. Submerge the bratwurst in the beer; add the red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook another 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bratwurst from the beer mixture; reduce heat to low, and continue cooking the onions.
• Cook the bratwurst on the preheated grill, turning once, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the beer mixture as a topping or side.

BEER-SIMMERED BRATWURST

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for direct grilling, high heat.
• Combine the beer, caraway, coriander, mustard seeds, onions, garlic and ginger in a large stockpot. Then, add the bratwurst. Place the pot on the grates of the grill and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sausages until half-cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the grill and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for 30 minutes. Transfer the brats to a platter or cutting board and strain the liquid into a bowl, discard the solids.
• Brush the sausages with canola oil and grill until the casings are crisp and golden brown and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Keep warm until serving.

BEER-SIMMERED GRILLED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• 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 saute 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 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 baking sheet to drain, or drain in a colander.
• Separate the sausages into links.
• Set up grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high.
• 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.
• Transfer the sausages to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes.
• Serve with plenty of mustard.
