Grilled Brats Recipes

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.

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.
