Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the onions. Melt the butter in a deep 12-inch skillet over medium heat and soften the onions for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Nestle the brats among the onions, pour in the beer, and bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer gently 15 minutes, turning the brats once, until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Remove the brats and boil the onion mixture until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Push the onions aside and sear the brats 2 minutes per side until browned and snappy.

  6. 6

    Toast the buns, add the brats, pile on the beer-braised onions, and finish with a generous line of mustard.
