This is such an easy way to cook your brats and so much better than buying them pre-cooked at the supermarket. Boiling the brats in beer and veggies adds tons of flavor. After being grilled, the skin is nice and crisp and the inside was warm and juicy. Top with your favorite toppings and you have the perfect brat.

GRILLED BRATWURST AND BEER



Grilled Bratwurst and Beer image

I found this recipe in a Weber BBQ cookbook and liked it for it's simplicity and for the fact that I could let them cook away on the grill with a minimum of supervision. My guests loved them! The next day, I re-grilled the leftovers and they were just as good, if not better, than they were the night before. My brats were quite large with 4 of them to a pound so the serving size here is approximate.

1 lb fresh bratwurst

1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
4 hot dog buns or 4 bratwurst buns

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for cooking indirectly over medium heat- for a gas grill just leave one burner unlit and for charcoal, move hot coals to the outside edges of the grill.
  • Place a foil pan in the center of the cooking grate and pour the beer into the pan, then add onion and green pepper; place brats on grill alongside the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until they're lightly browned.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality brats: Look for brats that are made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices. Avoid brats that are made with fillers or preservatives.
  • Use a variety of beers: Feel free to experiment with different types of beers to find one that you like. You can use light beers, dark beers, or even flavored beers.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Make sure to give the brats enough space on the grill so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the grill, the brats will steam instead of grilling.
  • Cook the brats over medium heat: Medium heat will help to cook the brats evenly without burning them. If you cook the brats over high heat, they will likely burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
  • Turn the brats frequently: Be sure to turn the brats frequently so that they cook evenly on all sides. If you don't turn the brats, they will likely burn on one side before they are cooked through on the other side.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the brats are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the brat. The brat is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Brats and beer are a classic combination that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can make sure that your brats and beer are cooked to perfection. So fire up the grill, grab a cold beer, and enjoy!
