Description

A German-inspired cookout featuring tender all-beef or soy bratwurst on soft buns, paired with buttery carmelized onions and tangy sauerkraut. Non-pork and non-alcoholic, this recipe offers bold flavors while maintaining a festive, family-friendly vibe.


Ingredients

Scale

Non-pork Bratwurst (beef/soy base) 4 links
Soft Brat Buns 4
Pre-made Sauerkraut 2 cups
Unsalted Butter 2 tablespoons
Yellow Onions 2 medium
Whole Grain Mustard 4 tablespoons
Non-alcoholic Beer 12 oz


Instructions

Preheat grill to 300°F (150°C) with a two-zone setup
Place bratwurst over indirect heat. Sear for 2 minutes per side, then reduce heat to 275°F (135°C) and cook until 160°F (71°C)
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet. Cook sliced onions 10-12 minutes until golden, then deglaze with non-alcoholic beer and simmer 3 minutes
Heat remaining butter with sauerkraut in another pan
Serve bratwurst in buns with 1 tbsp mustard, a side of onions, and 1⁄2 cup sauerkraut

Notes

Double the cuisen for large groups
Use brioche or pretzel buns for richer flavor
Swap with red onions for added sweetness
Opt for low-sodium non-alcoholic beer if preferred
