Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4-6 (as an appetizer)
Equipment: Grill or indoor grill pan, medium saucepan, whisk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill or indoor grill pan to a medium-high temperature.
2. Place the bratwurst sausages on the grill and cook until they're fully cooked with nice grill marks, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remember to flip them occasionally for even cooking.
3. Once the bratwursts are cooked, transfer them to a bowl and let them cool slightly. Then, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
4. To prepare the beer sauce, pour the beer into a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly.
6. Whisk in the Dijon mustard to the simmering beer mixture.
7. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth, then whisk it into the saucepan. This will help thicken the beer sauce.
8. Bring the mixture to a boil for about one minute while stirring constantly until it thickens.
9. Stir in the Liquid Smoke and turn off the heat. Continue whisking to combine everything well.
10. Add the cut-up bratwurst pieces into the saucepan and toss them to coat evenly in the beer sauce.
11. Transfer the beer brats bites onto a serving platter, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, drizzle with any remaining sauce, and insert toothpicks into each bite for easy serving.
Cooking Tips:
- For a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute the beer with a non-alcoholic beer or beef broth.
- Adjust the Liquid Smoke to your taste; it provides a rich, smoky flavor.
