Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 10 small brats (about 75 g/ 2.7 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cup of beer (250 ml/ 8.5 fl.oz)
- Fine sea salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the onion. Cut the onion into equal quarters, then slice each quarter into strips.
- Sear the brats. Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then sear the brats for about 3 minutes per side, flipping with tongs.
- Add the onions. Nestle the onions between the sausages and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.
- Simmer with beer. Flip the brats again, pour in the beer, cover the skillet, and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sausages reach 160°F / 71°C internally.
- Finish the sauce. Remove the brats from the pan, season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 2 minutes. Return the brats to the skillet and coat them in the sauce.
- Serve immediately. Remove from heat and serve hot.
