GRILLED BEER BRATS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Grilled Beer Brats with Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Guy Fieri

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.

BEER GLAZED BRATS AND SAUERKRAUT



Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut image

I came up with this recipe, because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. A very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that's Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and ice cold beer on the side.

Provided by JTk364

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅛ teaspoon celery seeds
⅛ teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pound sauerkraut (preferably barrel-aged), drained

Steps:

  • Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds in a mortar and pestle until ground; set aside.
  • Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill weed, and crushed celery and caraway seeds in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar; pour over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and raise heat to medium; boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer sausage to a platter and keep warm. Cook and stir sauerkraut in the same skillet to mix in any leftover sauce, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Look for a sausage that is flavorful and has a good amount of fat. Bratwurst, kielbasa, and Italian sausage are all good options.
  • Brown the sausage before braising: This will help to develop the flavor and create a nice crust.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer will add flavor to the braising liquid, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid: This will help to round out the flavor of the dish. Onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers are all good choices.
  • Simmer the sausage and vegetables for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and the sausage to become tender.
  • Serve the sausage and peppers with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles are all good options.

Conclusion:

Beer-braised sausage and peppers is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious meal that everyone will enjoy.
