Equipment
- 2 disposable aluminum pans
- digital meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 4 bratwurst pork or beef
- 4 flatbreads or regular hot dog buns
- 24 oz beer
- 12 oz water
Toppings
- ½ cup yellow mustard
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 2 yellow onions roughly chopped
- 2 zucchini sliced
Instructions
- Set up your grill for 2-zone cooking and indirect grilling. Fire up coals and heat the indirect zone to 325°F (160°C).
- Fill an aluminum pan with beer and water. Place the pan on the direct side of the grill and bring the beer to a simmer.
- Place the bratwurst links in the beer. Simmer to parboil the brats to an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C), about 10-15 minutes.
- In a fresh aluminum pan, add the chopped onions. Place the pan on the indirect side of the grill. Cook until brown and caramelized.
- Add the yellow mustard, sauerkraut, and zucchini to the onions. Combine well and leave over indirect heat while you grill the brats.
- Remove the brats from the beer and place on the grill grates, directly over the heat. Grill for 2 minutes on each side, until browned.
- Transfer the grilled 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 or buns, one link per bread.
