Grilled Bratwurst Recipes

SHEBOYGAN GRILLED BRATS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the sliced onions for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes. Add the beer and let simmer while the bratwursts are cooking on the grill.
• 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.

GRILLED BRATWURST WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

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.

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:

• 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.
