Grilled Brats Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Put 2 beers in a pot.
• Throw in a chopped onion and the brats. If you need more liquid to cover the brats, add water.
• Bring the beer to a simmer (Don't let it boil - ever! When steam begins to rise from the top of the liquid, it's just right. Boiling will cause the brats to burst).
• Simmer the brats for 20 minutes.
• Throw out the beer/onion mixture.
• Place brats on the grill 7-9 inches above the coals.
• Use tongs to turn the brats often until golden brown on all sides, about 10-15 minutes if you have pre-simmered them.
• Cover grill between turns.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Cook and stir onions in hot oil in large skillet on medium-high heat 5 min. or until onions are golden brown; cover. Simmer on low heat 10 min., stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, bring beer to boil in medium saucepan. Add bratwurst; cook 5 min. Drain. Grill 4 to 5 min. or until done (160ºF), turning occasionally.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.

• Grill the bratwursts for 30 to 35 minutes, turning often. Be careful not to poke holes in the casing. Remove the bratwursts from the grill and simmer in the beer sauce for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot with onions on the rolls.

Steps:

• Grill brats over hot coals browning on all sides.
• Remove from grill and place in large kettle or dutch oven,.
• Cover with beer, onions and pepper.
• Simmer at least 1 hour not over direct heat.
• The heat removes the alcohol from the beer.

• Serve hot on toasted buns, with the peppers and onion or the toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• Combine the hard cider, 1 cup of the broth and the bratwurst in a large saucepan, bring to a simmer and gently simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup broth and simmer until the onions are browned and completely soft, about 5 minutes more. Keep the onion mixture warm while you cook the bratwurst.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Transfer the bratwurst to the grill or grill pan and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Lightly grill the pretzel rolls, cut-side down. Serve the bratwurst topped with the onions and with the pretzel rolls and mustard on the side.
