Beer Steamed Sausages Food

BEER-BRAISED SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the sausage among the foil sheets and evenly top with the bell peppers, celery, red onion and garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 thyme sprigs to each and drizzle with the beer. Bring two opposite ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal. Fold in the other sides and seal, leaving room for heat to circulate.
• Grill the foil packets, rotating halfway through, until the sausages are charred and the peppers are crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with parsley.

BEER-SIMMERED BRATWURST

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Combine the beer, caraway seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, onions, garlic and ginger in a large stockpot. Add the bratwurst. Place the pot on the grates of the grill and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sausages, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the grill and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for about 30 minutes. Transfer the brats to a platter or cutting board.
• Brush the bratwurst with the canola oil and grill until the casings are crisp and golden brown and the brats are warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Keep warm until serving.

BEER SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Pour the beer into a large pot, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Layer the potatoes into the bottom of the pot, and sprinkle a little Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Layer the baby carrots, onion, smoked sausage, and cabbage, sprinkling every layer with a bit more of the Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper. Turn heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes.

BEST EVER SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS, ONIONS, AND BEER!

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Cook sausage until browned on all sides. Remove sausage from pan, and set aside. Pour in 1 bottle of beer to deglaze the pan, scraping up any blackened bits from the bottom. Place the red peppers, green peppers, onions and garlic in the pan. Stir in the remaining beer and the tomato paste. Season with oregano, cilantro, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer until onions and peppers are tender. Slice the sausages into bite size pieces, and add to the peppers. Cover, and simmer until sausage is cooked through.

BEER-SIMMERED GRILLED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• 1. Prick each sausage a half-dozen times with a needle or pin stuck in a cork. Arrange the onion slices on the bottom of a sauté pan just large enough to hold all the sausages. Place the sausages on top and add beer and water to cover (the ratio should be about 3 parts beer to 1 part water). Place the pan over medium heat and gradually bring the liquid to a simmer, not a rapid boil. Poach the sausages until half-cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a rack on a baking sheet to drain or drain in a colander. Separate the sausages into links.
• 2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high.
• 3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Lightly brush the sausages on all sides with oil and place on the hot grate. Grill until the casings are crisp and nicely browned and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. You may want to rotate the sausages 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks. Should flare-ups arise, move the sausages to a different section of the grill. Use a slender metal skewer to test for doneness. Insert it into the center of one of the sausages: It should come out hot to the touch.
• 4. Transfer the sausages to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with plenty of mustard.
• Variations: Poaching is optional and not every grill jockey does it. If you omit the poaching, you'll need to grill the sausages 7 to 10 minutes per side.
• For absolutely foolproof sausage grilling, use the indirect method. The sausages will be fully cooked in about 30 minutes.

BEER-STEAMED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Prick each sausage in several places with tip of small knife. Pour beer into bottom of pan fitted with steaming rack or basket, making sure beer doesn't cover rack, and heat beer to boiling. Adjust heat to maintain gentle boil and place sausages on rack. Steam covered until sausages are firm to the touch and just cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to paper towels.
• About 10 minutes before serving, heat butter and oil in large heavy skillet. Pat sausages dry and place in skillet. Saute, turning with tongs, until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Cut sausages diagonally into 3 or 4 pieces each. Serve hot with cornichons, onions, and mustard.
