Air Fryer Brats With Beer Gravy Food

AIR FRYER BEER BRATS

Steps:

• Slice the onion and peppers. Add butter to the skillet and turn to medium high heat.
• Add the onions and peppers to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes until they are caramelized and turning brown on the edges. Resist the temptation to move the onions and peppers too much during this process.
• Once they are toasty brown, pour in 4 oz of beer, stir, and allow it to evaporate. This took me about 5-6 minutes.
• Marinade the brats in 8 oz of beer in a Ziplock bag for 30 minutes.
• Heat the Air Fryer to 360 degrees and add the brats.
• Remove the beer brats after 11-15 minutes. Turn them half way to make sure they are browning all the way around.
• Place them in buns and layer with pepper/onion mixture, plain mustard or sauerkraut.

BRATS WITH BEER GRAVY -- MAN FUEL

Steps:

• Cook Brats over medium heat. Pierce casings all over with pointed end of knife or use fork. This will allow the fat to drip out into pan and prevent sausages from bursting. Brown on all sides until no pink shows on inside. Remove from pan and set aside.
• To make gravy: Take a container with a sealable lid (like tupperware) and pour the beer into it. Add Italian seasoning, beef boullion, pepper and cornstarch. Place lid on tight and shake to blend ingredients. Open lid between shakes to relieve the gas pressure from the beer or you'll have a big mess to clean up.
• Pour beer mixture into pan drippings. Turn up heat to medium high. Stir using a wire whisk, loosening bits from bottom of pan. Gravy is done when you see it bubbling.
• Too thick? Add more beer. Too thin? Add more beer mixed with a little cornstarch. Do not add dry cornstarch directly to hot gravy. You will get lumps.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie.
