Beerbratwurst Recipes

Steps:

• Light a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high.
• In a medium pot over high heat, bring beer and half the onions to a simmer (save remaining onions for serving). Add bratwurst to the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer sausages to the grill, and grill until they're well browned on all sides, 2 to 5 minutes, turning often.
• If you like, while the brats are grilling, let the beer and onions boil over high heat until the onions are very soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve onions for serving.
• Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until golden, about 1 minute. Serve the brats sandwiched in the rolls and topped with onions (either raw or beer-braised, or both), along with any condiments you like.

Steps:

• Place brats in a Dutch oven with onions and butter, cover the brats with beer. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until brats are cooked. Remove brats and set aside beer mixture. Grill brats until golden brown and return to beer mixture until ready to serve. Serve brats on fresh baked brat buns with sauerkraut, onions, green peppers, ketchup, and/or mustard.

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill.
• Combine the onions, beer, vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seed, bay leaf, and black pepper in a 4-quart saucepan, bring to a simmer, and simmer gently over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
• Add the bratwurst and simmer gently until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the bratwurst and set aside. Strain the poaching liquid reserving the onions. Let cool. Remove the bay leaf, add crushed red pepper, olive oil, and chopped fresh parsley. Set aside to use as a relish.
• Place the bratwurst on the grill and cook over medium-high until charred. Butter the rolls and toast on the grill just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Tear off a 20-inch-long piece of heavy-duty foil. Put the onion, garlic and bay leaf on the foil, piling them on one side; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dot with the butter and place the bratwurst on top. Fold the foil over the onions and bratwurst, then fold in the edges on two sides to seal, leaving one side open. Carefully pour the beer into the open side, then fold in the edge to seal.
• Place the foil packet on the grill onion-side down; cook 10 minutes, then carefully flip and continue grilling until the onion is softened and the bratwurst is warmed through, 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, grill the rolls until toasted.
• Carefully open the packet. Remove the bratwurst and grill, turning, until lightly charred all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Return to the packet to toss with the onion. Serve with the rolls, sauerkraut and mustard.

Steps:

• Combine 6 cups water, the beer, onion, garlic, ginger, caraway seeds, bay leaves and cloves in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a gentle simmer and cook 10 minutes. Add the bratwursts, return to a simmer and cook until almost done (the meat should still be slightly pink in the center), about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the bratwursts cool completely in the cooking liquid, about 1 hour.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Transfer 2 cups of the cooking liquid to a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and bring to a boil; cook until the butter melts, about 1 minute.
• Grill the bratwursts, occasionally turning and basting with the butter mixture, until marked and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve on rolls with mustard and other toppings.
• Sweet-and-Sour Onions
• Cook 2 chopped red onions in a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat, stirring, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; cook, stirring until the onions are glazed, 1 minute. Let cool completely.
• Bell Pepper Relish
• Pulse 1 each chopped yellow bell pepper and orange bell pepper, 4 each chopped radishes and scallions, 1 chopped celery stalk and 1 garlic clove in a food processor until finely chopped. Whisk 2 tablespoons each cider vinegar and chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon each celery salt and kosher salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the vegetable mixture; toss to coat.
• Smoky Beer Cheese
• Combine 1/4 pound each shredded sharp cheddar and smoked gouda, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 cup lager beer, 2 teaspoons hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste in a food processor; pulse until smooth.
• These toppings also taste great on burgers or hot dogs.

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.

Steps:

• Combine the onions, garlic, ginger ale, sauerkraut with liquid, and pepper in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer another 7 to 10 minutes. Add the bratwurst and simmer until the sausages are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Drain, and serve with sauerkraut.

Steps:

• Rub the defrosted brats with the garlic and leave it stuck to the brats.
• Lay the brats in the bottom of a foil lined pan, leave enough foil on the sides to tent it over the brats later.
• Quarter the onion and apple and spread the pieces out over the brats.
• Sprinkle the pepper over the whole thing and seal the foil over the top.
• Bake in a 350 oven for an hour.

Steps:

• Get a large grill safe dish (we use the reynolds disposable roasters), place the onions, red bell peppers (if using) and brats in the bottom.
• Mix the two mustards, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar together and dump this mixture over the brats and onions etc.
• Stir until the onions and brats are evenly coated.
• Pour enough beer into the dish to cover the brats and onion, then give it a slight stir to mix the mustard mixture with the beer.
• Put in fridge and let sit at least 30 minutes, but an hour or two is much better. When marinating time is up, remove and let come to room temperature.
• Pre heat your grill to medium high heat.
• Place the container directly on the grate and cook the brats in the beer mixture for 10-15 minutes, until the beer is steamy and hot. Remove from heat. But do not discard yet.
• Turn the grill down to medium heat (or however you like your brats grilled).
• Remove the onions and brats from the beer mixture. Then place the brats on one side of the grill and the onions on the other.
• Grill brats and onions, turning occasionally until done. Each time you turn, baste with the remaining beer mixture. The onions should be somewhat caramelized and soft.
• Discard the remaining beer mixture and serve on buns or hoagies with sauerkraut and other condiments as desired.

Steps:

• Place the pork and veal on a rimmed baking sheet, transfer to the freezer, and chill until crunchy on the exterior but not frozen solid (30 to 60 minutes).
• Pour the ale into a shallow baking dish, transfer to the freezer, and chill until the ale is semi-frozen.
• In a small bowl, add the salt, sugar, caraway seeds, mustard powder, thyme, ginger, nutmeg, and Cure No. 1 and stir to combine.
• Nest a large mixing bowl in a bowl filled with ice. Grind the meat through the small die (3/16-inch/4-mm) of the grinder into the bowl set in ice. Once all of the meat has been ground, pour the semi-frozen ale through the grinder, into the bowl, which will help push out any meat remaining in the feed tube or wrapped around the auger.
• Add the spice mixture to the meat and stir with your hands until well incorporated; the mixture will look homogenous and will begin sticking to the bowl.
• Spoon 2 tbsp of the meat mixture into a nonstick frying pan and spread into a thin patty. Cook the test patty over low heat until cooked through but not browned. Taste the sausage for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
• Press a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly on the surface of the meat to prevent oxidation, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Alternatively, you can vacuum-seal the mixture.
• Stuff the sausage into the hog casings and twist into links.
• Poach the links in water or lager-style beer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the sausage registers 145°F/63°C. The poached sausages can be grilled and then eaten immediately, or chilled fully in an ice bath and refrigerated, or frozen for longer storage. When you're ready to eat them, grill again or cook in a pan over medium heat until browned and heated through.

Steps:

• Cut the pork and beef into 2 inch cubes.
• Grind through a 1/4 inch grinding plate.
• If you do not have a meat grinder you can pulse it in your food processor in SMALL batches.
• In a small mixing bowl beat eggs and beer together until well blended.
• Add dry ingredients.
• In a large mixing bow combine the ground meat and wet mixture until well incorporated.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours, up to 24.
• The longer the better.
• At this point you can either stuff into casings or wrap in 1 pound packages which is what I do, then freeze.

Steps:

• Pour 2 (12 ounce) bottle of beer in a 3 qt pot.
• Add butter to melt.
• Let it get hot first and add the bratwurst and sliced onions inches Cook, simmering the beer and turning the brats every 10 minutes for about 30 to 45 minutes (use your own judgment).
• Let the beer evaporate and reduce it until it is syrupy and to where it looks like it is coating the bratwurst well.
• Prepare the hot dog buns on a warm plate.
• When beer syrup is thick and reduced then make sure to coat bratwurst with the syrup well by turning and stirring and then with tongs, take them out and place them in the bun.
• Add some sauerkraut and eat!

Steps:

• Prick bratwurst with fork to prevent them from exploding as they cook. Place in a large stock pot with the onions, butter, and beer. Place pot over medium heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil grate. Cook bratwurst on preheated grill for 10 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly. Serve hot off the grill with onions on hoagie rolls.

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.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a Dutch oven saute onions till tender 5 minutes.
• Add sugar, caraway seeds, and pepper stir in and place brats on top, cover the brats with beer drink the remaining. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until brats are cooked. Remove brats and add kraut and stir.
• Place brats on medium high grill and cook brats until golden brown and return to beer/kraut mixture until ready to serve. Serve brats on fresh baked brat buns with sauerkraut & onions, fresh grated horseradish, ketchup, and/or mustard.
