BOBBY FLAY'S BEER-SIMMERED BRATWURST RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Arrange onion slices and garlic along the bottom of a medium stockpot. Place bratwurst on top and then add the beer, water, coriander, caraway, mustard seeds and ginger. Fire up the grill. Bring to a simmer over the grill grates or on a stove burner. We do it on the stove top, but you still need the grill to finish cooking the brats. Simmer the sausage in the mixture for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the bratwursts sit in the liquid for 10 more minutes. Remove the sausages with tongs onto the grill. Grill until cooked through and have grill marks. Serve on buns with garnishes of your choice.

BEER BRATS

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.

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.

SIMPLE BRATWURST

Steps:

• Place brats and beer in saucepan, making sure that the sausages are covered.
• Bring to a boil
• Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until the brats look done (they will be gray and foamy--bear with me!).
• In the meantime, you should fire up the grill. Charcoal, of course, is best but not always practical.
• Also in the meantime, take some aluminum foil and fold it into a packet.
• Remove sauerkraut from can/jar with a fork (thus preventing drainage needs) and place into packet. Seal TIGHTLY!
• Put brats and packet on grill (use indirect heat for sauerkraut packet, or place on a rack above grill--you know what I mean if you have one ;)).
• Grill, turning occasionally, about 8-10 minutes over medium high heat. I, personally, like mine with a nice black burnt crust, but I am odd. So go with what looks right. You want them brown and shiny with wee grill marks on them.
• During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, place buns, slightly open, with opening down, on grill (again, indirect heat) to toast them.
• Serve with mustard and the sauerkraut. Thou shalt not eat thy brat with ketchup. 'Tis a mortal sin.
• Quaff the rest of the beer.
