"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.

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups German light ale (about four 12-ounce beers)
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
3 large onions, unpeeled, roughly chopped
2 whole cloves garlic, smashed
1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
3 pounds precooked bratwurst, pricked with a fork (about 15 links)
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

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