Grilled Mustard Beer Bratwurst With Toasted Garlic Buns Food

GRILLED BEER BRAISED BRATWURST

Steps:

• Fire up your charcoal or gas grill to high heat with the lid closed to ensure it gets nice and hot.
• Place a Dutch oven or largish pot on a corner of the grill or on the stovetop over medium heat. Toss in the butter, garlic, and cayenne and cook for about a minute, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn't brown.
• Add the brown sugar, caraway seeds, and some pepper and then add the brats and enough beer so that everything is swimming. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add the sauerkraut and its liquid and gently simmer until the brats are cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (You can tell when the brats are done because they'll expand and the meat will seem tight in its casing.) Remove from the heat. Let the brats remain in the cooking liquid until you're ready to grill them.
• Brush the cut sides of each bun with butter. (If you have time to melt the butter first, all the better!) Put the buns, cut side down, on the grill until crisp at the edges, magnificently golden brown, and toasted through and through. Transfer the toasted buns to a roasting pan or disposable aluminum pan and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Use tongs to retrieve the brats from the liquid. Carefully grill the brats, being careful for any hot liquid they may exude and turning as necessary, until slightly charred on the outside, about 10 minutes.
• Immediately serve the brats, straight from the grill, on the toasted buns with mustard and a heap of sauerkraut drained through a slotted spoon. Include ample napkins.

BEER BRATS

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.

GRILLED SEASONED BEER BRATWURST

Steps:

• Place bratwurst in a large saucepan; add the beer, onion and fennel. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Drain and discard beer mixture., Grill bratwurst, covered, over indirect medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally. Serve on buns with toppings of your choice.

GRILLED BRATWURST AND BEER

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.
• Place brats into the pan with the beer and vegetables, cover grill and cook for 25 minutes.
• Serve on buns with mustard and chopped onions.
• Leftover brats can be re-grilled right on the grill for several minutes, until hot.

BRAT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, chili powder smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook over medium low heat for 25 minutes.
• Add coconut aminos, coconut oil and liquid smoke. Cook for another 15 minutes.
• Remove from stove. Chill until ready to serve.

GRILLED MUSTARD-BEER BRATWURST WITH TOASTED GARLIC BUNS

Steps:

• Cut 4 (1/4-inch deep) slices in each bratwurst (the slits will allow them to soak up the sauce as it cooks and also gives them a nicer appearance).
• In a saucepan combine beer, brown sugar, mustard and black pepper; cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
• Add in bratwurst, then reduce heat to low; cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the beer mixture (RESERVE the beer mixture).
• Place the brats on the grill; brush generously with the remaining beer/mustard mixture until the brats are browned (about 5-6 minutes).
• Mix softened butter with garlic powder and salt then spread onto each side of the bun; place on the grill and toast until lightly browned.
• Place 1 brat onto each bun and top with one or all of the condiments.
• Delicious!

GRILLED BRATWURST

Steps:

• Preheat your grill for Medium heat (325-350 degrees F) for two-zone cooking.
• Place the bratwursts on the indirect side of the grill and cook for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature of the bratwurst reaches 150-155 degrees F. Turn occasionally to evenly cook the bratwurst.
• Transfer the brats to the direct heat side of the heat and grill for 1-2 minutes to cook the exterior casing.
• Place the buns slit side down on the grill and grill for a few seconds until they are crisp.
• Remove the buns and the bratwursts from the grill. Place a brat in a bun, and top with your preferred toppings (mustard and sauerkraut for me!)

GRILLED BRATWURST

Steps:

• Set up your grill for 2-zone cooking and indirect grilling. Fire up coals and get the indirect zone to a cooking temperature of 325°F (160°C).
• Place aluminum pan on the direct side of the grill. Pour in beer and water, and bring to a simmer.
• Put bratwurst links in the beer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, turning the brats every few minutes.
• In a fresh aluminum pan, add the chopped onions and cook on the indirect side of the grill. Cook until brown and caramelized. Add the yellow mustard, sauerkraut, and zucchini. Combine well and leave over indirect heat while you grill the brats.
• Remove brats from beer and place on the grill grates, directly over the heat. Grill for 2 minutes on each side, until browned and the internal temperature is 160°F (70°C).
• Add brats to the mustard and onion mix. Coat each link with sauce.
• Place flatbreads or buns on the direct side of the grill, inside-down. Cook until lightly toasted.
• Serve coated brats in toasted flatbreads, one link per bread.
